Seminar Overview: Uncovering the TOKYO PRO Market
On June 3, 2026, the Bridge Consulting Group Inc., a provider of management support services utilizing insights from certified public accountants, will host an insightful seminar titled "The Reality of Listing on the TOKYO PRO Market and Strategies for Step-Up Listing." This event will feature distinguished speakers Daisuke Oshita from CrossOver Law Office and Tetsushi Yamamoto from Clair Partners Inc. The seminar aims to provide deep insights into the rapidly evolving TOKYO PRO Market (TPM) as it becomes increasingly attractive to business owners.
Background
In recent years, the number of companies listed on the TOKYO PRO Market has surged. This market has no strict formal standards and typically requires a preparation period of around one to two years, allowing business owners to maintain ownership while gaining credibility and growth potential as a listed company.
However, many questions persist: "What is the true nature of the TPM? Is it suitable for my company? How does it differ from the general market? What are the benefits of opting for the TPM route instead of directly entering the general market?" Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a transparent platform to address these inquiries.
In response, this seminar gathers three experts with unique perspectives: a former Tokyo Stock Exchange auditor and J-Advisors, namely, a lawyer and a CPA, to discuss these vital topics in a panel format. The engaging discussion will delve into the real considerations underlying the examination processes, the distinctions brought by J-Advisors, and strategies for targeting step-up listings. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions ahead of the event, ensuring relevant topics are covered.
