Funai Soken Agata FAS's M&A Seminar for the Solar Industry

Funai Soken Agata FAS has announced an insightful seminar specifically tailored for solar power business executives, scheduled for August 25, September 3, September 10, and September 15 in 2026. This event aims to address the current challenges faced by the industry, such as business expansion, entry into new markets, succession issues, and considerations for mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The seminar will feature key speakers including Keikazu Oka, the Renewable Energy Team Leader at Funai Soken, Susumu Takenaka, President of Sun-Ei Eco Home, who has firsthand experience in transferring a solar power business, and Yuuya Adachi, a consultant from Funai Soken Agata FAS. Participants can expect a comprehensive program structured into three distinct parts: an overview of the current trends in the solar industry, panel discussions involving business transfer owners, and explanations on corporate strategy, followed by a Q&A session.

The discussions will center on the latest developments affecting the solar industry, such as Non-FIT, FIP, and battery storage programs. These topics are critical for attendees to grasp in light of the evolving regulatory environment and market dynamics. Moreover, insights will be provided on the integration process post-M&A and valuation assessment, ensuring that business leaders are well-equipped to navigate these vital aspects.
