OUTLINE
NPO Hasekura Program is a not for profit organization established in 2013 with the objective of promoting and connecting socially innovative projects emerged in post-tsunami Japan with Europe.
Japan as well as various European countries are at a turning point in their economical developmental stage. They are all facing new challenges (deflation, decrease in fertility rates, aging population, etc) which require new solutions that most governments have proven unable to provide.
However, post 2011 tsunami Japan has seen an emergence of socially innovative projects that offer new and valid answers to those challenges and, therefore, can become a model for other countries, too.
OBJECTIVES
Through a variety of services (non-commercial missions, online study sessions, close-door working groups, market research, business matching, new products development, advisory, website translations etc) we wish to create an international platform for the exchange of ideas, the implementation of new projects and the creation of new products between like-minded social entrepreneurs, SMEs and local authorities of regional Japan and regional Europe (mainly Spain and Italy at present).
The key words of our project are:
tradition-based innovation; social, environmental and economical sustainability; interlocalization.
We focus aound the following 4 sectors:
responsible tourism, gastronomy, smart communities, art crafts & design
RESULTS
Hasekura has organized, so far, 5 inbound missions with more than 30 participants, has received financial support from prestigious institutions and counts on the collaboration of about 40 entities in Europe and Japan.
Yet, given its limited financial resources, Hasekura hasn’t been able to fully develop its potential. For this reason:
AVAILABLE POSITION
We are looking for a knowledgable person on crowdfunding and fundraising (international private and public funding, philantrophy, etc) to raise the start up capital necessary to finance the first stage of our project.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Knowldege of the Japanese language would be an advantage.
