01Why This Expo

Why SOLOPRENEUR EXPO

  • 01

    More and more people run their business alone

    Side businesses, going independent, freelancing. Every year, more people run their own business without belonging to a company. Solopreneurs are no longer a minority.

  • 02

    AI is changing how one person runs a business

    With AI, one person can do the work of a team. A new kind of business owner, the “AI solopreneur,” is emerging, and the ceiling for one-person businesses is rising.

  • 03

    Japan's first gathering of solopreneurs

    There has never been a large-scale event for solopreneurs in Japan. This fast-growing group will gather in one place, with their challenges, for the first time. Be there on that first day as an exhibitor.
