CrowdWorks to Host Inaugural M&A Conference 'MAP 2026' on July 8; Over 150 Registered in Just Two Weeks

CrowdWorks, which provides IT talent and DX consulting services based on one of Japan's largest freelance platforms (7 million registered users, 1 million companies), announced it will hold 'M&A Conference MAP 2026' on July 8 (Wed) from 12:00 to 21:00 at Belle Salle Kudan.

Having executed 18 M&A deals to date, CrowdWorks recognized the lack of spaces for stakeholders to neutrally share knowledge and connect in an evolving M&A landscape. This conference serves as a matching platform for startups, corporate buyers, VCs, and experts.

Key Benefits of Participation 1. Closed-door Consultations with Experienced Entrepreneurs: Entrepreneurs who have joined groups like Ceres, Benesse, and MIXI will share their M&A experiences. 2. M&A Buy-side Pitch: Six active corporate buyers will present their synergy interests and focus areas. 3. Networking Opportunities: Interactive sessions including networking lunches, dinners, and 1-on-1 meeting areas.
