Mynavi Corporation (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and Executive Officer: Yoshiaki Tsuchiya; hereinafter, Mynavi) will hold a pitch event “Global Innovators Pitch powered by Mynavi” for the first time on July 6th (Thursday) at “Kabukiza Tower” in Higashi Ginza, Tokyo, where overseas startups in the HR Tech and BPO industries will gather. A total of 6 companies from East Asia, Europe, etc. will visit Japan and introduce their services to help Japanese companies solve the staffing shortage and provide a foothold for overseas expansion.
■Purpose of holding the event
With the declining birthrate and aging population, the working-age population (ages 15 to 64) in Japan is estimated to drop to below 70 million in 2032, below 50 million in 2062, and decline to 45.35 million in 2070*1. Labor shortage is an urgent issue in economic activities of companies. Along with this, there is a concern that the size of the Japanese market will shrink, and it is conceivable that the number of companies seeking a way out in the global market will increase.

On the day of the event, 6 global companies that undertake HR Tech and system development will visit Japan and introduce their services. Participating from a wide range of countries including East Asian countries, India and Poland, all the companies will be on stage for the first time at a Japanese pitch event.
