Kotuka will publicly unveil a new project he has been developing behind the scenes, and a special guest is also scheduled to appear.

Background of the Event

With rising prices and labor shortages, the business environment for SMEs is becoming increasingly challenging. Knowledge on how to revitalize and grow companies through financial and numerical strategies has become essential for business leaders regardless of company size.

Following the overwhelming success of his previous study session on 'Business Planning and KPI Design' held at Sanbou BAR in June, he will return to share his insights. This event not only offers practical learning but also provides a rare opportunity to witness the unveiling of Kotuka’s new venture.
