Tech for Impact Summit 2025: Taking Action Against Harassment

The upcoming Tech for Impact Summit 2025 will take place on October 7, 2025 at the Toranomon Hills Forum in Tokyo, Japan. Organized by Socious Corporation, this international conference focuses on leveraging technology to tackle social issues. A significant initiative announced is the implementation of a comprehensive action plan aimed at preventing sexual harassment, ensuring every participant can engage in a secure environment.

A Disturbing Reality: Harassment as an Economic Disaster

Recent statistics reveal alarming truths about gender-based violence experienced by women entrepreneurs in Japan, with 78% reporting such incidents. This issue transcends social problems and emerges as an economic disaster, potentially leading to a staggering 10 trillion yen loss due to the stifling of innovative ideas by harmful perpetrators. The Tech for Impact Summit seeks to address crucial challenges like climate change and economic disparity. However, genuine innovation can only flourish within a safe startup ecosystem. Motivated by the strong belief that “silence is complicity,” the summit organizers are committed to taking decisive actions against this alarming trend.

Our Approach: Training for Active Bystanders

To effectively tackle harassment issues, the summit will collaborate with the non-profit organization Sisters. They will conduct “Active Bystander” training for all staff and volunteers involved in the summit. This training empowers individuals to intervene safely when witnessing harassment rather than remaining passive. Each staff member will cultivate a culture that refuses to tolerate harassment, working together to create a secure atmosphere for all attendees.

Join the Movement: #NoHarassment

We encourage everyone who supports this initiative to spread the word on social media by using the hashtag #NoHarassment. As a token of gratitude for sharing, participants can receive an invitation code during the summit ticket purchase. This code, PR1000, includes discounts such as free admission for stage pass holders, students, and seniors, while general tickets will be discounted by 1,000 yen.
