CEO Kids Business Contest 2025

On November 30th, 2025, the 7th CEO Kids Business Contest will take place at the Minato City Industrial Promotion Center in Tokyo. Hosted by the CEO Kids Academy, this annual event showcases the remarkable ingenuity of young entrepreneurs who have completed the academy's entrepreneurial programs. The contest aims to foster a spirit of entrepreneurship in children, encouraging them to confront social issues head-on through inventive business concepts.

The children, having participated in the CEO Kids Entrepreneur Course, will present their unique business ideas, derived from personal experiences and societal challenges like environmental sustainability and community support. This year, finalists will share proposals such as a waste sorting support system that helps individuals identify which category their trash belongs to—aiming to reduce sorting mistakes and create a more environmentally friendly future. One participant has designed a community ride-sharing app that connects parents, promoting mutual assistance among families. These young minds are ready to provide innovative solutions that add genuine value to society.

In the lead-up to the contest, children have spent nearly a year refining their ideas with passion and enthusiasm. We encourage media representatives to come witness their creativity firsthand and experience their dedication to making a difference. Visit CEO Kids Academy for more information and the event's details.
