Gender Investment and Innovation Program

Envisioning a society where women in Asia can realize their full potential
This program strives to reshape Asian society through economic empowerment and gender equality projects so that all women can have the agency to independently tap into their own potential. Leveraging our unique competitive advantage as one of Japan’s leading private foundations, we aim to address gender inequality issues through two main approaches: encouraging investment in women and supporting entrepreneurial activities. The program also promotes the implementation of concrete actions by conducting research and collaborating with regional organizations and groups. We then present pragmatic policy recommendations informed by these studies and initiatives.
