Beta Integral's Contribution to Financial Education

On July 7, 2025, online participants will have the opportunity to attend the Kyoto University Finance Seminar, titled "Financial Literacy Opens up the Future 2025 - Exploring the Current State and Future of Financial Literacy through Financial Education's Leading Edge." Takahiro Kawakami, co-founder and Managing Director of Beta Integral, will be serving as a panelist in this significant event.

Event Overview

The seminar is collaboratively organized by six major institutions: Kyoto University's Graduate School of Management, Kyodai Original Co., Ltd., Mizuho Securities Co., Ltd., Japan Financial Products Intermediary Association, Green Monster Co., Ltd., and Beta Integral Co., Ltd. The event aims to delve into the role of financial literacy in a society that is maturing and facing the challenges brought on by a century-long lifespan.

Participants will investigate various aspects of financial education, including its implementation in schools, its role in individual well-being, and its contribution to societal stability. The goal is to foster an environment where knowledge about finance is accessible to all, breaking down barriers that prevent people from effectively engaging with financial matters.
