Create a Oneness space for Impact Economy
Around the world, initiatives are emerging to redefine the purpose of business—not merely as the pursuit of economic profit, but as solving societal challenges and creating sustainable value—seeking new forms of capitalism. The Center on Impact Economy aims to create a space where people engaged in these activities, discussed under concepts such as “impact business,” “impact finance,” and “impact economy,” can gather. Our mission is to conduct research on cutting-edge practices, disseminate the knowledge generated to society, and cultivate the next generation of leaders.

Impact Night
As a hub for the impact economy ecosystem, we regularly host ‘Impact Night’ at Shizenkan’s campus. These events bring together pioneering leaders in impact business and impact finance as guest speakers for in-depth discussions. Beyond the panels, we create opportunities for participants to connect through dialogue, build networks, and launch new collaborative initiatives.
