Mashida Forum 2022] Mashida as a Venture Test Bed - Thinking about the Symbiosis of the Region and Ventures / September 3, 2022

LIVERNESS Corporation will hold a panel discussion, "Masuda as a Venture Test Bed - Thinking about the Symbiosis of the Region and Ventures," at the Masuda Forum 2022 of the Association of Transdisciplinary Studies (at Sun Palace Masuda) on Saturday, September 3, 2012.

With Japan's declining population, falling birthrate, and aging population problems becoming more apparent, we believe that the Tokyo-centered, mono-centric capitalist economy will decline in the future, and that it is necessary to form a regionally decentralized ecosystem. For the region, spawning collaboration between venture companies from outside the region and companies within the region can be a catalyst for the creation of business seeds. On the other hand, for venture companies, it can advance the demonstration of technology. We will discuss what kind of thinking is needed for the collaboration between the region and venture companies to become a symbiotic relationship and how this can be achieved.

The program is not limited to the themes of this session, but includes discussions among local companies, researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from a variety of perspectives. For more information,Conference Websitefor more information.
