    Jesper Koll: Japan - Capitalism that works

    Jesper Koll: Japan - Capitalism that works

    Japan has got what it takes to be an economic superpower and role model. Japan's social resilience, political stability, corporate competitiveness and creative innovation are poised to deliver positive surprises – not just economic growth and investment opportunities but, more importantly, as a source of inspiration for a new generation of global creators and leaders. Japan expert Jesper Koll, embedded in Japanese society for over thirty years, uncovers a world well beyond transistor salesmen or lost generations of demographic doom. You'll laugh and learn why Japan is capitalism that really works.
    Jesper Koll has been researching and investing in Japan since becoming a resident in 1986. Over the past decades, Jesper has been consistently recognized as one of the top Japan strategists/economists. He currently serves as Expert Director for the Monex Group and the Japan Catalyst Fund (Japan’s 1st retail investor based corporate engagement/activist fund). In 2022, he was appointed Global Ambassador for Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike’s Tokyo Financial Center initiative. 
    Jesper is an economist, angel-investor, patron; and yes, a Japan Optimist.
