The role of business sectors and entrepreneurs to realize a desirable future in 2050
Visionary in 2050 and Startup Ecosystem
The context for the theme (Why this theme?)
Under unprecedented shift of paradigm in terms of geopolitics, technologies and biology, we need both ultra long-term vision and ultra short-term agility and flexibility. That’s why we raise the theme this year: Visionary in 2050 and Startup Ecosystem
The program consists of four components:
- Visionary workshop using Back-casting methodology to think over long-term horizon into the future.
- A series of lectures/speeches by Japanese entrepreneurs to learn the importance of vision and agility.
- A series of lectures to learn Japanese economy, society, and the way of thinking.
- A cultural experience to understand the Japanese value system embedded in its business culture as well.
The Experience
Absolutely blown away by my time here in Japan. Was an extremely eye-opening experience.
The whole program was very well put together and a very enjoyable experience. The Japanese hospitality has been outstanding.
I have learnt about aspects of Japanese culture that there is no way I would have realised from my travels around the country alone. The hosts were fabulous and went out of their way to make our experience a positive one.
The Program
That culturally diverse teams are valuable to bring a broad spectrum of experiences and insights to the table.
Sustainability is not only about the environment. It is so much more, depending on your industry or purpose.
Bringing in opinion and value systems other than your own is energising and positive for outcomes.
Without strategy achieving large scale tasks is made more difficult than it needs to be.
