Entrepreneurship after Exit: NTT Data’s take-over bid for Netyear Group

Tuesday, Apr 20, 2021

04:30 pm - 05:50 pm

Join us for an engaging discussion of how the ecosystem of support for entrepreneurship is evolving in Japan, the rapid increases in the number of women who are engaging in entrepreneurship, and how digital transformation may open up even more opportunities for startups in Japan.  This session will also highlight the journey of growing a company to exit and then keeping it successful. There are not many people who can speak to the challenges of running a startup and then running a public company and we are very excited to have Ms. Fujiyo Ishiguro, Founder and CEO of Netyear Group who will share her experience.
