Since its founding, ACTBI, which is based in Osaka and provides essential support for enterprise companies in new business

I am working both publicly and privately to revitalize the Kansai region, and I believe that the region still has a lot of potential. This time, with the theme of “What does Kansai need now?”, I received a warm invitation from Mr. Mochizaki, a consultant from Actobi, and decided to take the stage.
On the day of the event, I am looking forward to speaking with everyone who will lead the future of Kansai.
* ・Mr. Yuhei Iwamoto – Head of New Business Development Office, Zojirushi Mahobin Co., Ltd.*
I met Mr. Mochizaki, a consultant from ACTBE, at a new
business-related networking event, and that’s how I was approached. I’m sorry to say that I haven’t been able to work with ACTBE yet, but our company is entering its 6th year of new business initiatives, and we have accumulated many failures and concerns, so I would like to have a frank discussion with you all.
