About IMPACT STARTUP SUMMIT 2025
The
IMPACT STARTUP SUMMIT 2025, organized by the
Impact Startup Association, is a pivotal networking event for startups dedicated to combating social challenges and promoting sustainable growth. This year’s theme,
'Impact Showcase – A Fair for Social Problem Solving,' will include a plethora of startups addressing a diverse range of areas such as education, environment, community revitalization, healthcare, and welfare. These dynamic efforts are geared towards catalyzing positive societal changes.
Nessu's Commitment to Supporting Children
Nessu’s
'Kodomo Furusato-bin' program serves as a unique vehicle for providing local specialty products and experiences to children in need, such as those attending children's cafeterias and single-parent households, as well as children facing serious illnesses. By utilizing
furusato tax donations, Nessu connects donors to much-needed resources that are sent directly to support these vulnerable groups.
This innovative approach not only facilitates support for children but also allows donors to receive local products at the same rate as on other platforms. Since its launch in 2023,
six municipalities across Japan, including Asahikawa City, have already engaged with Nessu, with hopes of expanding to
10-20 more regions by 2025.
Addressing Social Inequality
Experts estimate that approximately
one in nine children in Japan experiences relative poverty, with the situation being even more dire for single-parent families, where nearly
one in two faces significant hardship. In light of this crucial reality, Nessu’s
'Kodomo Furusato-bin' implies more than just a delivery service; it embodies a commitment to nurturing children's wellbeing and future opportunities.
On
October 14, 2025, Nessu plans to launch a dedicated portal for
'Kodomo Furusato-bin' that allows direct specification of donation destinations. This platform stands as a testament that each single donation has the power to generate smiles among children while supporting local industries and shaping Japan’s future.
In a landscape where the focus is shifting from 'maximizing benefits' to 'aligning with the purpose of expenditures,' Nessu strives to refine its
'purpose-driven' furusato tax initiative, reinforcing the integral link between community support and sustainable development.
