Young Professionals
(Kansai)

The Young Professionals Forum (YPF) is an interactive platform for young, working professionals (under age 35), providing members the opportunity to actively engage in all aspects of chamber activities including networking, information sharing, and advocacy.

The YPF Kansai is committed to support young professionals within Kansai by providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Through our workshops, mentorship programs, and networking events, we hope to create a supportive community that will help young professionals achieve their goals and thrive through our initiatives.

Our goal is to partner with Kansai-based committees, fostering support for young members and candidates.  Additionally, we aim to collaborate with the Tokyo-based YPF committee for both events and when members or candidates transition between our chapters.
