Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hagita, who is visiting the United States, has announced a policy of dispatching 1,000 Japanese entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley, where startup companies that create innovative businesses are concentrated, to strengthen their competitiveness over the next five years. I'm going to do it.
Compared to the United States, Japan has a smaller number of start-up companies that create innovative businesses, and the amount of investment for start-up companies over the last year was only 0.08% of GDP = gross domestic product. ..
Under these circumstances, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has significantly expanded support measures for dispatching entrepreneurs and new business personnel of companies to Silicon Valley in the United States, and in the five years until 2027, the number of people will increase tenfold to 1,000. We have decided to dispatch.
This support measure aims to foster entrepreneurs by visiting Silicon Valley, proposing business plans to local business owners and investors, and receiving their opinions.
On the 27th, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Hagita will visit San Francisco, where there is a facility to support start-up companies, to announce this policy, and will expand the necessary budget to strengthen the competitiveness of the Japanese economy.
