NN Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Marius Popescu, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "NN Life"), which supports SMEs in Japan through life insurance, will begin accepting applications for the "Netherlands Study Tour 2026" on Monday, April 20, 2026.
Since 2018, we have been inviting family business successors and managers to the Netherlands, the home of our parent company, NN Group, to conduct original study tours customized to the interests and challenges of each participant. Set in the business environment of the Netherlands, where advanced technology and sustainability merge, family business successors and managers from different industries learn together, creating new synergies and providing opportunities that lead to the creation of innovation in their own family businesses. We support participants so that the learning through this tour will not only transform their own businesses but also, in the medium to long term, give them the power to lead their local communities and industries, becoming entities that contribute to the revitalization of the local economy while spreading positive influences around them.
Even after the study tour, we will continue to provide opportunities to connect with past study tour participants, as well as other family business successors and managers.
