About this session
There is tremendous, untapped potential for mobilizing the huge pool of Japanese savings for investments that can promote development in Asian economies, especially in South and Southeast Asia. The flow of capital from where it is most abundant to where it can have the most impact and achieve better returns, is a win-win combination. This keynote explores how institutional capital from Japan is being redirected toward high-growth startups, financial institutions, financial infrastructure and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
