TAPP's Strategic Partnership with OVAL JAPAN

TAPP, a prominent investment real estate company based in Minato, Tokyo, has announced its partnership as a Gold Sponsor with OVAL JAPAN, a student organization known for managing one of East Asia's largest international business contests. This initiative aims to support the next generation of global talent by creating opportunities for collaboration between students from Japan, China, and South Korea, where they compete in English.

Background of TAPP

Founded in November 2016, TAPP stands for Turn A Profit Partner, embodying the vision of being a partner in generating profits for clients. The company's mission emphasizes creating value beyond existing frameworks, thereby nurturing innovative business solutions. To achieve this mission, TAPP recognizes the importance of co-creating with the next generation of talent who possess diverse perspectives and the ability to identify and solve real-world issues.

TAPP's strategic office has positioned itself to explore how to engage with students who can contribute to building these efforts. OVAL JAPAN's commitment to forming cross-national teams to address social challenges resonates with TAPP's vision. By continuously interacting with students, TAPP aims to uncover new business opportunities that deviate from traditional modes of thinking. Hence, their support for OVAL JAPAN was established, designed to propel the ambitions of future global leaders.

OVAL JAPAN Overview

OVAL JAPAN is the Japanese branch of the student organization OVAL, which facilitates a competitive environment for students from Japan, China, and South Korea to develop and present business plans in English. Founded in 2003 in Japan, OVAL expanded to include branches in China and South Korea the following year. For over 20 years, OVAL has hosted joint contests among these three nations, demonstrating the collaborative spirit of the participants.

The organizing committee of OVAL JAPAN comprises members from prestigious institutions such as Waseda University, Sophia University, Keio University, and the University of Tokyo. Students from top universities in China, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, along with Seoul National University in South Korea, partake in these contests, fostering a rich environment of competition and creativity. Notable figures who participated in OVAL's inception have gone on to succeed in various industries, further amplifying the event's credibility and appeal.

In the 2026 Japan qualifiers, titled the Tokyo International Business Contest (TIBC), students faced the challenge of developing business solutions that maintain organizational productivity while addressing employee burnout. This theme closely aligns with TAPP's own focus on leveraging AI to enhance productivity and work-life balance.

Future Development

TAPP views this sponsorship not merely as a one-time support action but as the beginning of a long-term relationship aimed at co-creating with future leaders. By deepening ties with OVAL JAPAN and other student organizations, TAPP's strategic office seeks to combine students' innovative thinking with the company's established business foundation to explore new avenues previously unconsidered by TAPP.

This investment in the future workforce goes beyond financial support; it embodies TAPP's commitment to manifesting the vision of “something that has yet to be written in history” together with the talented youth.

Insights from TAPP’s Strategic Office Director, Yuuki Kondo

Yuuki Kondo expressed his enthusiasm for engaging with OVAL JAPAN, stating, “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to nurturing the next generation of global leaders. I believe the future of society will be built not by those who only seek existing answers, but by individuals willing to confront unaddressed challenges and devise innovative solutions. I see that capacity in the students gathering at OVAL.”

“It's our mission to conceive, develop, and socially implement new value consistently. When the free ideas of students are combined with our strengths, groundbreaking businesses will emerge. This sponsorship is just the first step. I am excited to see what future these students will build, transcending nations and cultures.”
