Purpose of the Event: To solve the real challenges of municipalities and support people who wish to marry
In Japan, with its aging population and declining birthrate, the situation where people who want to marry cannot find partners continues. This challenge cannot be solved by administrative bodies or matchmaking companies alone.
- Municipalities have enthusiasm and a public mandate at the local level, but limited access to private sector know-how and the latest case studies.
- Matchmaking companies possess expertise in matching but lack the capacity to provide end-to-end support from initial encounters to successful marriages.
- Professionals in "venues" and "content" such as food and beverage, bridal, and media have not yet had sufficient contact with the matchmaking market.
- What can be created when their respective strengths are combined?
Omicare has collaborated with various municipalities nationwide, including Tottori, Fukushima, and Okayama prefectures, to plan and implement new initiatives such as large-scale matchmaking events and seminars. This year, marriage agencies, party organizers, and companies from beyond the industry will join to create a broader co-creation platform as the "Konkatsu Summit 2026." To foster matchmaking as a part of "life design" across society, this summit is held as a forum for municipalities, matchmaking companies, and cross-industry companies to gather and discuss success stories, challenges, and honest opinions.
