Honda Foundation has been dedicated to the advancement of ecotechnology sicne 1977 since its foundation. We have been engaged in a variety of innovative activities worldwide, utilizing science and technology for the genuine welfare and peace of mankind through coexistence with ecosystems, making way for pioneering research and innovations, and constantly seeking out new possibilities.

In 2008, Make Your Mark (founded by the four leading UK business membership organisations ) and the Kauffman Foundation (the world's largest entrepreneurship foundation based in the US) founded the very first ‘Global Entrepreneurship Week’ and Honda Foundation had the previlidge to be the host of Japan of this event.

We believe that ‘Entrepreneuship' is crucial to build a sustainable society. However it is not about just having new or original ideas but its about educating young minds who have a can-do attitude and the skills to spot opportunities, overcome challenges, takeing leadership and implement ideas. It s a matter about synthesizzeing vairous as fators which is not an easy path.

Our hope is that we can see many young entreprenuers from Japan to make Japan and the world a better place. Therefore, we are proud to support ‘Global Entrepreneurship Week’.
We hope that many will support our hope.
