Future Innovation Forum(FIF)

Founded in 2006 under the philosophy of enriching society through innovation, FIF is a membership organization that facilitates transorganizational cooperation.
Since its foundation, FIF has offered a forum for executives and next-generation leaders to discuss their common business challenges in pursuit of innovations, and for children to dream of their future.

Enrich Society through Innovation

Mission

The mission of FIF is to, as Japan heads toward a brighter future, facilitate cooperation beyond existing frameworks to discover new business opportunities, and to expand the dreams and creativity of children.

What We Do and Contribute to the SDGs

Primarily we plan and organize activities for member companies and for kids and youths. Seminars and workshops for our member companies are regularly held to discuss common business challenges. Moreover, FIF provides children with an interface with society to practically resolve challenges and creates opportunities to learn about computing, facilitating exposure to the latest technologies.

In cooperation and collaboration with schools, companies and all other organizations, FIF will stay committed to open innovation activities enabling organizations to be extensively interconnected, transcending their existing framework.

Through those activities, we will contribute to achieving the SDGs(Sustainable Development Goals).
