Building a better working world
Japan’s population is decreasing and economic growth is expected to slow. In order to revitalize the economy, we will need to create new industries.
However, in today’s world, it is very difficult to create an industry: it remains difficult even when companies consolidate.
Over the years I have made a number of recommendations and assisted the government in formulating policy. As an extension of this, I helped form a cross-sector consortium with industry, government and academia and promoted strategy development and verification.
In the future, I plan to continue devising and testing strategies to uncover new value for society, while promoting initiatives for their concrete application and implementation in society, in order to create new industries and contribute to the vitalization of Japan’s society and economy.
