Would you like to hear some tips from an entrepreneur who has succeeded in starting a business in Tokyo?

The Tokyo One-Stop Business Establishment Center (TOSBEC) supports many foreign entrepreneurs every year. In this event co-hosted with ANZCCJ, we will be joined by a business owner who recently established their own company in Tokyo with TOSBEC's support, covering their top tips and personal experiences regarding this process.

This seminar is recommended for:

・Any foreign entrepreneurs wishing to start a successful business in Japan

・Any foreign entrepreneurs wanting to learn more about the practical assistance the Tokyo Metropolitan Government can provide in establishing a company.

Date: Tuesday, August 9 2022

Time: 12:00 - 13:00 JST

Speaker:

Daniel Madaras / CEO in Kamiji Inc.

Daniel started working at Tokyu hotels as a translator in Shizuoka. After moving to Tokyo, he started acting and modelling while teaching English part-time. Being a big fan of the Japanese language, especially the strange and unique writing system, he and his co-founder started developing a Kanji learning game app called ‘Kamiji’. As they were in the fund-raising phase and wanted to be taken seriously, he felt the need to establish a company around the project. This is when they received service from TOSBEC and were able to establish a K.K. in Japan.

※Number of participants in this seminar is limited to 50. Applications will close once the limit is reached

※The seminar will be held online.

For those in the Food and Beverage industry, there is a shared pang of regret felt when faced with the decision to throw away large amounts of food that could be put to better use. According to the Japanese Ministry of Environment, the estimated total amount of food loss and waste generated in Japan in FY 2018 was 25.31 million tons, of which approx. 6 million tons was edible. Japan aims to reduce the amount of edible food loss and waste generation to 4.89 million by FY 2030, with a number of government initiatives in place to bring this issue to the public's attention.

The ANZCCJ Food, Agriculture & Hospitality Committee and GourmetPro invite members and friends to join us at Hilton Tokyo on Thursday 26 May as we explore the food waste challenges faced in Japan and the opportunities to overcome them. Featuring guest speakers Gourmet Pro, Don Roxburgh (Wholesum Japan), Alexander Fellner (Aranea), Frankie Hart (Harnet Corporation), and Martial Diffor (Hilton Tokyo Executive Chef), this event will provide insights on:

• The food waste situation in Japan and its root causes
• Challenges that importers, exporters and hospitality industry players face in terms of food waste, and examples of best practices to reduce it
• How startups are offering innovative solutions to reduce food waste and loss across the F&B industry in Japan

By participating in this event, attendees will not only get deep insight into the food waste problems facing Japan, but will also hear real experiences of F&B industry players tackling these issues.

The transition to a low carbon economy includes a range of processes and solutions. We understand there are many unknowns due to regulation and compliance, market behaviours, stakeholder expectations, technological advancements and global geopolitics. The Ashurst Aurecon Alliance brings together an integrated end to end solution across legal, consulting and engineering that meets the challenges involved in pivoting to a sustainable future. We recognise that the world has changed and that our clients are on a journey of transition whereby sustainability is no longer an aspirational goal for organisations but core to the successful growth of a business.

Join the ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee as we discuss what Net Zero means to Australian businesses and the expectations and requirements of Director's in governing this transition.

• Net Zero in the Australian context – regulation, policy and industry dynamics
• How companies are defining and achieving Net Zero goals
• Climate change: transition risk mitigation and physical adaptation
• Directors' duties in a climate change context

Beginning April 2022, the ANZCCJ Member Roundtable Series will create a space for collaborative problem solving around real issues, while also providing valuable networking opportunities for busy business leaders.

The first event in this series will centre on "the importance of D&I in future leaders training", led by ANZCCJ Silver Members and global leadership consultancy The Dream Collective.

Providing leadership training for high potential members of an organisation is standard practice for ensuring that future leaders are equipped with the necessary tools to step into and succeed in these positions.

In addition to core communication and management skills, implementing Diversity & Inclusion into your future leaders' training can be a crucial factor in building a supportive and efficient workplace culture, where staff can adapt quickly and innovate in times of great change. Join this one-hour session to build your understanding of the importance of D&I and discuss best practices among a diverse group of business representatives.

As this is a discussion-based event, active interaction with your fellow participants will be encouraged.
