As they create new companies, elders are set to become the driving force behind Japan’s economic\u00a0development, in which private entrepreneurship has always played a crucial part.\u00a0Entrepreneurship is what\u00a0bolstered Japan’s emergence in the first place : in the late 19th century, it allowed the country to make its transition from a medieval to a modern economy in record time, with impressively little outside capital.<\/p>\n
Major Japanese players\u00a0get involved in supporting older entrepreneurs<\/h4>\n
Japanese players\u00a0are well aware of the importance of seniors in the Japanese economy, which is why they strive to\u00a0ensure elderly entrepreneurs’ success. \u00a0Serviced office provider Executive Centre Japan is one of them : in November 2013, it started providing elderly entrepreneurs with complimentary secretarial support and free shared work space<\/strong> for up to three months\u00a0after the creation of their company in Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\u201cIn light of their entrepreneurial enthusiasm and rich practical experience, we believe that our senior generation can make great success in various business fields such as business consulting and IT consulting,\u201d said Junko Tanaka, Director of Business Development at The Executive Centre Japan<\/strong>. \u201cWhat they lack is the fundamental support such as office space solution which is crucial to their business success. Our offers not only help the senior entrepreneurs establish their companies with effective cost control, but also assist them in focusing on driving their business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Japanese elders now make up a third of the country’s entrepreneurs, at a time when younger people seem to shy away
