Summary: 

• “Impact investment: the invisible heart of markets”; Empathy x Impact
• Japan’s context in developing impact investment market; Supply (utilizing dormant bank deposit), Market Development (social impact measurement initiative), Demand (social impact bonds mainly in health and welfare sector)
• Cash flow is important, but more importantly, we need to collect empathy from society. This is the domino effect.
