Global Entrepreneur Development Seminars
Societies all over the world experienced sudden, radical changes to their structures and values in the wake of COVID-19. One significant change is that it is now easier than ever to connect to people worldwide. This could potentially lead to new business opportunities for Kumamoto.
That said, Japanese people generally have little contact with people from outside of Japan, which makes it comparatively difficult for Japanese businesses to expand overseas. Furthermore, non-Japanese people have to overcome several hurdles, including the language barrier, cultural differences and difficulties in acquiring a visa, in order to start up a business in Japan. Reforms to aid entrepreneurship need to be implemented if Japan is to take advantage of the new opportunities afforded to it.
Against this backdrop, we will hold the Global Entrepreneur Development Seminars, a series of three seminars which aim to provide aspiring entrepreneurs from within and without Japan the opportunity to connect with each other using a mixture of English and Japanese; to learn about each other’s culture and history; and to learn points to keep in mind when starting up business ventures in Japan or overseas.
◆Date and time of first seminar 18:00～20:00, Saturday, 1st July (free!) ※ After-party: 20:00～21:00 (not free!)
◆Venue ・XOSS POINT (2nd floor Kumamoto Shintoshin Plaza, 1-14-1 Kasuga, Nishi-ku, Kumamoto City) https://goo.gl/maps/SDRiv2aZMmsSPAas8
