 <Purpose of holding>

 Dr. Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank and founder of Grameen Bank to solve social issues through microfinance, has published a recent book, The World of Three Zeros, in light of the post-coronavirus society, the climate crisis such as global warming, and the world situation in turmoil following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Based on this, we will talk about “a new economy with zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero CO2 emissions.” Mr. Kohei Saito, Mr. Takeshi Nakashima, and Ms. Rika Sueyoshi will participate in the panel discussion following Mr. Yunus’s lecture, and we will discuss what kind of society Japan should aim for in the future.

Following Jacques Attali in 2020 and Professor Michael Sandel in 2021, this year we will invite Muhammad Yunus as a guest speaker and hold an online international symposium co-hosted by three companies on December 15th.

In addition to the 30-minute keynote speech, we plan to hold a panel discussion with experts from related fields in the second half. All past symposiums have been supported by the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, etc., and we have received 4,200 participants in 2020 and 3,300 in 2021.
