Pro Jinzai Kiko Inc. (President and CEO: Kei Takahashi) in collaboration with YMFG Capital Inc. will host the "Opening the Future of Regional Companies: The Path to Professional Management" talk and networking event starting at 19:00 on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
■ Background of the Event: What Can Be Done for Regional Companies Without Successors
There are over 1.27 million companies in Japan without successors.
To prevent excellent regional companies from closing down due to a lack of talent, there is an increasing number of cases where funds become owners and recruit successors. In response to this, Pro Jinzai Kiko Inc. proposes starting a career as a successor for business succession to those aiming to become "professional CEOs."
We will welcome Mr. Kenichi Takanashi, business successor of Takanashi Seisakusho Co., Ltd., who is proceeding with business succession within the family, as a guest to hear real voices from the perspective of the one "handing over" the business. We hope this will be a place to deepen your understanding of business succession.

■ Purpose of the Event: Knowing the "Reality of Business Succession" Which Is Not Just a System Briefing
This event is a place for you to realistically imagine the actual scene of business succession.
The "reality of the side handing over the business" from a regional company leader proceeding with family succession.
The search fund that invests in regional business succession and runs alongside them.
The headhunter who supports solving corporate issues and forming a career towards becoming a CEO.
It is a place to capture the multifaceted nature of business succession spoken by speakers from each perspective, and to consider a career as a CEO.
The "third path" of business succession, which is neither starting a business from scratch nor simply changing jobs. Why not become a CEO by leveraging existing organizations, customers, and brands, and breathe new life into regional companies with your professional experiential knowledge?
