Startup Career Fair 2026: Connect with Future Opportunities

The Startup Career Fair 2026, organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, is set to take place on February 21, 2026. This event aims to assist aspiring professionals in exploring careers within startups. Our company, Chiki News Co., is delighted to announce our participation in this event, representing our career support initiatives and innovative community-focused approach.

About Chiki News Co.

Chiki News Co., headquartered in Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture, celebrates over 40 years of publishing the weekly free paper "Chiki Shinbun." With a circulation of approximately 1.74 million copies distributed across Chiba and Ibaraki Prefectures, this community-oriented media outlet emphasizes participatory content such as quizzes, questionnaires, and reader experiences. Leveraging our strong distribution network of around 2,500 dedicated delivery personnel, we feature advertisements from approximately 7,000 companies annually, ensuring reliability in our outreach.

Background for Participation

As part of our commitment to enhancing community engagement, we have developed a robust information dissemination system targeted at 1.74 million households primarily in Chiba Prefecture. Our strategic framework, known as the "Strategic Plan," aims to foster collaborative regional platforms. A key development in this trajectory is our signing of a basic agreement for management integration with UniGrowth Co., which aligns perfectly with our objectives.

Additionally, we are excited to announce the recent appointment of Masaki Hamasaki as Executive Officer in charge of career support initiatives. Under his guidance, we are actively rolling out a scholarship repayment support-oriented personnel introduction service, focusing on enriching career support channels and facilitating job placements, particularly within startups. This event will serve as a significant opportunity to engage with talent interested in career development in innovative environments, further accelerating the vision of balancing work and residence proximity.
