Event Goal

The Chibakei Partners networking event is 'another place for encounters' created by Chiba Keizai Sangyo Shimbun outside the pages of the newspaper.

It is a closed networking venue for a small group of 10 to 15 business owners in Chiba. We prioritize a sense of distance where participants can speak from the heart, which is hard to achieve at large cross-industry networking events.

For the first networking event in April, we invited many business owners to celebrate the launch. Starting from the second event, we will invite companies that already have connections with Chiba Keizai Sangyo Shimbun through sponsorship, subscription, or interviews.

Our goal is to create a space where challengers in the same region listen to each other's stories, meet, and connect.
