The Future of Making Money

In a world where design thinking and art thinking have become common, is it still possible to make money with design and art? Do they work as a business? The mindsets are being established with words being thrown around, but can design and art really be coupled with business?

In this event, moderator Takao Kunori (Editorial Advisor, Forbes Japan) will speak with Akihiko Nagata (Executive Vice President/COO, Euglena Co., Ltd.; Representative Executive Director, Real Tech Fund), who proactively invests on the creativity of tomorrow from the standpoint of an investor, and Akira Wakita (artist; Dean and Professor, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at SFC, Keio University), who continues to explore the theme of “science and art” through his practice, and aims to take the company he established public.
