NEC's Commitment to Women Entrepreneurs at RED TOKYO 2025

NEC is proudly sponsoring the "Business Plan Presentation RED TOKYO," an event aimed at enhancing support for women entrepreneurs as part of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's initiative "GIRAFFES JAPAN." This initiative under the Kanto Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry focuses on connecting female entrepreneurs with supporters to help turn their business ideas into reality.

With the motto "Let’s Create the Future," NEC emphasizes the importance of open innovation and aims to foster collaboration and new value creation. Through this sponsorship, NEC reinforces its commitment to nurturing women entrepreneurs and enhancing business growth, thereby accelerating innovation driven by diverse perspectives.

Background on Women Entrepreneurs in Japan

The participation of women entrepreneurs in Japan's startup ecosystem remains alarmingly low, presenting immediate challenges such as funding and building professional networks. NEC recognizes Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) as a critical component of its business strategy and actively promotes diversity, a crucial source for disruptive innovation. This involves creating an environment where female leaders can fully unleash their potential.

NEC's Initiatives in Support of Women Entrepreneurs

As part of its supportive efforts, NEC offers the following:

1. Mentoring and Networking for Women Leaders: NEC's female entrepreneurs will provide individual mentoring sessions. This initiative aims to share valuable insights on challenges that female entrepreneurs typically face.

2. Visibility and Promotion of Role Models: NEC plans to actively showcase the success stories of women entrepreneurs collaborating with them in RED TOKYO, promoting role models for the next generation of female entrepreneurs. This will help drive a societal shift in perspective.

3. Entrepreneur Support through NEC X - JAPAN Edition: Leveraging its assets, NEC will utilize the startup studio "NEC X - JAPAN Edition" to provide entrepreneurs with disruptive business creation opportunities. This initiative is geared toward fostering innovative business ventures in collaboration with emerging entrepreneurs. More information can be found at NEC X - JAPAN Edition.

Looking Ahead

Through these initiatives, NEC aims to continuously provide tailored support based on the business phase of participating entrepreneurs, fostering real-world applications of their achievements.
