Reflecting on 'Women's Empowerment and Health' for International Women's Day: 70 Participants from Elementary Students to Seniors Gather for 100 Inc.'s 3rd Anniversary Event

100 Inc., with a vision of realizing a 'society of 100 million healthy and happy people,' celebrated its 3rd anniversary on March 7, 2026. To commemorate this milestone, the company held an event in conjunction with International Women's Day titled '100 Inc. 3rd Anniversary Project: FEMTECH & WAKEWAKE project.'

The event featured multi-generational content, including a panel discussion by experts, business plan presentations by high school students, a report on women's health awareness in China by graduate students, and a charity auction moderated by a 6th-grade elementary student. It was a day for approximately 70 attendees to share in discussions about women's empowerment, health, and social contribution.

■ Background and Concept of the Event

The event was planned around the theme: 'Let's talk about women's empowerment and health! Let's share items with a story!'

The event featured exhibitions and sales of 'Femtech' (products and services that use technology to solve women's health issues). Additionally, the 'WAKEWAKE project' (a project to share items that are 'translated'—meaning they have minor issues preventing standard retail, such as nearing expiration dates despite being perfectly safe) held a charity auction. The proceeds were donated to the Pink Ribbon organization J.POSH and the cancer survivor support group NPO Kyoto Working Survivor, embodying a spirit of 'paying it forward.' The auction successfully sold 11 items to 7 bidders, raising a total of 46,233 yen.

■ Event Highlights: The Younger Generation Takes the Lead

Three 1st-year students from Hyogo Prefectural Nagata Commercial High School presented unique business plans based on their research. Furthermore, a 6th-grade elementary student served as the moderator for the charity auction. Their commitment to envisioning a 'better society' across generations received warm applause from the audience.

2. Expert Panel Discussion and Exhibition/Sales

A panel discussion featuring four experts—a venture capitalist, a high school teacher, a medical professional, and a private sector representative—explored the driving forces, challenges, and future prospects of women's empowerment. The exhibition area allowed participants to experience Femtech products firsthand, with approximately 27% of attendees making a purchase.

■ Satisfaction Rating: 4.6 (30 respondents)

Post-event surveys indicated high satisfaction regarding the content and the quality of networking. Participants praised the stimulating discussions, the impressive presentations by students, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

■ Message from 100 Inc. Representative / Future Outlook

Hiroko Yamagami, Representative Director of 100 Inc., stated: 'Since our founding, 100 Inc. has been committed to creating spaces where everyone can experience diverse well-being. Building on the success of this multi-generational co-creation and the culture of sharing, we will continue to accelerate our activities toward realizing a society where 100 million people are healthy and happy.'

The next event, 'Local Woman's Health Lab Symposium in Kyoto,' is scheduled for May 16, 2026, and will be held in coordination with a nationwide broadcast connecting over 12 locations, providing an opportunity to view women's health from a local perspective.
