〜を契機に

接続:N+を契機に
take important events as turning points; formal
注意 / Note:The most formal of the three patterns in the same article (〜をきっかけに/〜を契機に/〜を機に). Only used for MAJOR turning point events: 事故・災害・創立・入社. Using it for daily chores sounds stylish.
比較 / Compare:Same song: 〜をきっかけに/〜を機に. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:名詞+を契機に(して)。The most formal of the three forms, often found in journalistic writing. In front must be a BIG event: 事故・災害・入社・創立.
