Purpose of the Summit

With Japan grappling with declining marriage rates and an increasing number of individuals unable to meet their partners, the Marriage Summit 2026 seeks to identify collaborative solutions. The solitary efforts of municipalities or matchmaking companies are insufficient to resolve this complex issue.

• - Municipalities possess enthusiasm and public service mindset but often lack access to private sector methodologies and success stories.
• - Matchmaking companies have expertise in creating connection platforms but may not have a comprehensive approach to support individuals throughout their journey of finding love.
• - Professionals in sectors like dining, bridal, and media still require stronger connections with the matchmaking market.

When the strengths of these diverse sectors combine, new and impactful avenues can be discovered. Omikare has already engaged with several municipalities across the nation, conducting large-scale matchmaking events and seminars tailored to their unique needs. This summit not only aims to foster wider collaboration but to position matchmaking as a critical component of life design in today's society.

Who Should Attend?

• - Municipal representatives involved in matchmaking initiatives
• - Business professionals in the matchmaking and wedding industries
• - Media personnel interested in contemporary marriage trends and youth perspectives
• - Companies looking to delve into collaborative events with municipalities
• - Professionals from leisure, bridal, and media looking to enter or expand into the matchmaking sector.
