Forval formally announced that it had been commissioned by the Aomori Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The assignment consists of a range of initiatives to support second-business launches and new business development by local companies, as well as startup growth.
Aomori City and the Aomori Chamber of Commerce and Industry are listed as partner organizations, and support will be provided across the Tosei area. Aomori City has previously conducted accelerator programs and said it aims to shift from its traditional passive support model to a proactive one through this assignment.
The initiatives for fiscal 2026 are organized around 4 pillars. In addition to simplified business assessments and financial analysis through proactive visits, they will visualize ESG, DX and other factors. Starting with the assessments, the program will provide ongoing support through vision development, action-plan preparation and business expansion.
The business-creation networking event GEAR LAB, featuring business owners who have achieved second-business launches in various parts of Tohoku as speakers, will be held approximately once every 2 months. The program aims to develop personnel capable of conducting business assessments and enable the region to operate independently through collaboration with local educational institutions, financial institutions and support organizations.
