Launch of 'Mie no Tora': A New Community for Entrepreneurs in Mie Prefecture

In an exciting development for young entrepreneurs, Suneight Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has unveiled plans to establish a practical community called 'Mie no Tora', scheduled to commence full operations in January 2026. This initiative targets young business leaders connected to Mie Prefecture and aims to bridge regional information gaps while facilitating the sharing of actionable business knowledge.

The guiding theme of 'Mie no Tora' is 'Updating Mie', and it aspires to double the sales of existing local businesses by equipping members with practical insights tailored for modern economic challenges. Currently, applications for the inaugural cohort are open, inviting those keen to partake in an enriching collaborative environment. For more information and registration details, potential participants can visit the official website at Mie no Tora.

Objectives and Activities

Recognizing the unique opportunities that regional challenges present, Mie no Tora aims to elevate the potential of local entrepreneurs, often referred to as Japan’s three major merchants. By gathering business leaders committed to leveraging their entrepreneurial spirit, this community focuses on fostering camaraderie, learning from peers, and enhancing the vitality of local enterprises, consequently invigorating the regional economy.

Key Goals:

1. Personal Development: Encourage business leaders to evolve, as transformations at the leadership level are fundamental for company-wide change. Participants will work to clarify their vision and values, striving to become the 'thoughtful leaders' who can translate their aspirations into actionable results.
2. Organizational Reinvention: Promote the integration of sales, personnel, and operations, aiming to transition organizations from being 'people-driven' to 'system-driven'. A strong team will enable employees to self-manage, thereby driving profitability.
3. Contributing to Local Futures: By nurturing more robust companies, Mie will grow into a vibrant community, characterized by businesses capable of generating change and fostering a new generation of business culture.

Overview of Activities:

• - Regular Meetings: Monthly to bi-monthly learning and networking sessions.
• - Company Visits: Members will have the opportunity to observe operating environments of fellow member companies, exchanging valuable improvement ideas.
• - Idea Seminars: Sessions designed to enhance areas where skills may be lacking and stay updated with the latest information.
• - Intensive Practical Camps: Launching post-January 2026, these camps demand genuine commitment from participants to transform their businesses into models of excellence.

The program is exclusively open to mid-sized companies with revenues under 3 billion yen, allowing up to two representatives from each company to participate, with member pairings encouraged.

Future Directions

Following the introductory information session, Mie no Tora will steadily begin recruiting more committed members. This consists of establishing a sustainable cycle of regular meetings, company visits, and seminars, ultimately building a growth model that emanates from Mie Uprising. Collaboration with local and national support organizations, educational institutions, and media is also on the agenda.

What is Mie no Tora?

The very essence of this initiative comes down to its promise: to double the revenues of existing businesses. It positions itself as a hub for those who love their local community and are eager to form connections beyond their immediate surroundings. 'Mie no Tora' serves as a practical, participatory community for Mie's young business leaders. Visit the official site for further insight: Mie no Tora.

Background

Entrepreneurs in regional areas often struggle with access to valuable information and networking opportunities. Despite Mie’s historical reputation for mercantile skill, highlighted by its designation as one of Japan's three major merchants, today's information landscape necessitates a robust framework to maximize these strengths. 'Mie no Tora' aspires to address these challenges by forging a connecting network for young business leaders across Mie and beyond.

Organizers and Leadership

Suneight Inc., led by CEO Koichi Takeuchi, known for expertise in video marketing strategies, is at the forefront of this initiative. Other prominent figures include Hayato Nakamura (CEO of EBISE), who manages multiple businesses, and representatives from LifeSize, focused on website and logo creation.

Statement from Leadership

The launch of the 'Mie no Tora' entrepreneurial community marks a pivotal moment for regional leaders looking to confront Mie's unique challenges with innovative business solutions. As CEO Koichi Takeuchi states, “We seek individuals driven by high business aspirations and camaraderie to join this initiative. Continuous information gathering is crucial for leaders, regardless of present success, to mitigate future uncertainties. Let's learn together to eliminate the informational divide present in regional settings.”
