Science is Interesting! Science Seminar @ OIST

[BOG/BOC Special talk] Speaker: Mr. Jesper Koll

Capitalism that works : Japan’s Economic Realities

Japan has got what it takes to be an economic superpower and role model. As new global realities and national rivalries force unprecedented challenges and uncertainty for global leaders, Japan’s social resilience, political stability, corporate competitiveness, technocratic pragmatism and private sector innovation potential are poised to deliver positive upside surprises and real opportunities. No one doubts the potential; but can Japan really outperform on its own merits? Learn where exactly the opportunities are; how you can engage and profit from Japan’s new structural up-cycle; why there is more to sustainable prosperity than innovation and profit; what forces could derail it; and why Japan’s demographic destiny is an overarching positive force for next-Generation leaders, citizens and the rising Asian middle class.

Join us for an exciting pitch event where 12 entrepreneurs from Japan, India, Sweden, Germany, and Thailand will compete for a chance to incubate their startups at OIST!
