This includes bringing together seven strategic groups including innovators, executors, backers, enablers, government-level agencies, universities, as well as ecosystem builders to pursue initiatives in six sectors: healthcare, education, financial, food, housing and fashion.
Son is the younger brother of SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son. Frustrated by regulation in Japan as well as the country’s education system, he relocated to the city-state from Tokyo in 2017.
