The
spirit of challenge opens the way to the future
The National Forum on Entrepreneurship and Venture Business was
created in 1999 with the objective of supporting people’s dreams
and aspirations. The 1990s saw a rise in the number of new venture
businesses in the United States, which quickly became the driving
force for economic vitalization. In Japan, however, public
awareness and the social valuation of entrepreneurship and venture businesses
are relatively low. The Forum brings together entrepreneurs and
academic experts in addition to people from various fields of expertise
to launch widespread educational activities for the promotion of
entrepreneurship and venture businesses. Specifically, it stimulates
public debates to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit among the people,
creates policy proposals for social system reforms, and presents
awards to model entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-supporting organizations.
