IMPACT Interviews
Impact staff are always encountering interesting people, many of them change agents working to revitalize Japan. We gain measurably from our interactions with so many outstanding young entrepreneurs, successful company executives, creative artists, politicians supporting innovation, and many more.
In this series, Impact’s own William Saito will talk to a variety of people who are active in changing Japan. These interviews will help to give readers a sense of what kind of innovation is underway and what kind of people are promoting it. We hope you will enjoy these dialogues.
