Little World Co., Ltd. will once again implement "buyer’s room 2026 (September Division)" hosted by the National Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry, aiming to promote specialty products developed with the support of chambers of commerce and industry, utilizing regional resources and technologies, and to support sales channel development for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small businesses. This project, which began in fiscal year 2020, focuses on "screening-type business matchmaking" with an emphasis on business negotiations, resulting in a cumulative total of 1,996 new business negotiations over the past 11 sessions. This year, in addition to enhancing added value through awards, we aim to strengthen business matchmaking. The application period for the September division is from July 1, 2026 (Wed) 10:00 AM to July 31, 2026 (Fri) 5:00 PM. ※Scenes from last year's screening ※"Ice Imo Karin (Baked Sweet Potato Imo Jiro)" which received the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award in fiscal year 2025 【Background of Implementation】 For SMEs and small businesses engaged in manufacturing across the country, the common concern is "We have created products with high regional characteristics and added value, but we cannot promote them or develop sales channels, so they are only distributed within the region." The National Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry holds "buyer's room" as a new business matchmaking venue to create opportunities for sales channel development for SMEs and small businesses nationwide. 【What is buyer’s room?】 "buyer's room" is part of an initiative to solve challenges in product development and sales channel development faced by SMEs and small businesses from all over the country, in collaboration with distributors such as buyers and chefs. We recruit products from businesses nationwide aiming for sales channel development, and distributors will conduct screenings and select products for business negotiations at
