The 6th Enmusuba BA Event: A Record-Breaking Initiative

In an unprecedented move, Kokopelli Co., Ltd., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the upcoming 6th Enmusuba BA online business meeting, set to take place from August 3 to August 31, 2026. This innovative online event aims to bridge connections between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Japan, seeking to create fresh business opportunities.

The Enmusuba BA initiative partners with 21 financial institutions from the Tohoku, Hokkaido, and Kanto regions, leveraging the Big Advance platform.

The massive participation of over 2,000 companies marks the highest registration ever recorded since the event's inception, showcasing the enthusiasm and eagerness of businesses to reconnect and expand their networks.

Reflecting on Previous Success: The 5th Enmusuba BA

The success of the 5th Enmusuba BA, held in February 2026, set the stage for this upcoming event. Approximately 1,650 companies participated, particularly hailing from the Kansai region. Over 1,000 meetings materialized during the month-long event, leading to a number of successful contracts signed. These impressive statistics highlight the growing demand for such business matching opportunities, facilitated through the Big Advance platform, which has accumulated around 240,000 requests for business discussions since its launch.
