◆What is the “Ichihara Mirai Founding Project”? The “Ichihara Future Start-up Project” is a new start-up support project launched by the Ichihara Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2022 to support local founders. We aim to provide support that will lead to the expansion of specific business partners for businesses that have been founded in Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture, or businesses that are preparing to launch a new business or change their business. The project will be facilitated by Chiba Nippo Digital Co., Ltd., a local newspaper group that supports companies in disseminating information. A major feature of our work is that we use our know-how in media utilization to refine the founder’s business from the perspective of “how to make the business look attractive and easy to get picked up by the media.” As the culmination of the project, we will hold a “Business Audition” on December 22nd, where the founder will give a presentation. The founder presented a business plan that he had refined with advice from experts in 8 minutes. We will invite many people from local businesses and financial institutions to the venue, and we are also planning a networking event at our booth, so we aim to expand our business partners with immediate effect for founders.

[STEP1] Workshop (September) First, founders work on reconsidering the appeal of their business. Chiba Nippo Digital will be the facilitator, and in a workshop in which all participants will participate, we will discover the distinctive and interesting points of the founder’s business in a chat format. [STEP2] Individual consultation & presentation lesson (October to December) In preparation for the business audition, we will delve into the appeal of the founder’s business through individual consultation. We will also provide lessons on presentations to be made during business auditions. This will be a practice for showing off the charms you have explored in individual consultations in a performance that is even more appealing. Chiba Nippo Digital will be backing you up as an expert and will conduct a total of 5 sessions. [STEP3] Business Audition (held on December 22nd at Goi Grand Hotel) To complete the project, we will hold a business audition to expand our business partners. City businesses and supporters are scheduled to gather at the venue, and contestants will present their businesses that have refined their appeal. All participants at the venue will act as judges, review the presentations, and select the grand prize winner. There will also be a networking event with booths set up on the day of the event, creating opportunities for business interaction that will lead to an expansion of business partners. The first workshop was held on September 26th, and eight founders from Ichihara City participated. At the orientation, the “senior founders” who were participating in the second session shared their experiences about how a business can be refined. In the second half, each founder introduced themselves and discussed ways to refine their business plans with experts.

In this project, founders will become aware of the true strengths and appeal points of their business, and how to present it to business partners, through the polishing work of “how to make the business look attractive and easy to be covered by the media.” We place importance on learning. For this reason, at the Business Audition, we not only give presentations, but also have a networking session at our booth, so that we can negotiate with the businesses that come to the event on the spot. In addition, the presentation skills learned through business refinement work will be useful in future sales activities and in disseminating information to increase awareness of your company’s business. At the first and second events held in 2022 and 2023, there were many cases where presentations at business auditions and booth exchanges led to concrete transactions. *You can check the details of the previous “Ichihara Mirai Founding Project” below. https://chibadigi.com/archives/4771
