Building Connections Between Africa and Japan at the World Alliance of International Financial Centers (WAIFC) Africa Chapter in Tokyo!

African financial centers, part of the WAIFC Africa Chapter, had the chance to meet with the business community in Tokyo, strengthening cooperation between the two regions. A highlight was the meeting with Mr. Ken Shibusawa, a leader in sustainable finance and the founder of &Capital, which focuses on impact investing in Africa. Ken has served on various advisory boards, including the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment in Japan, sharing valuable insights on how finance can drive positive social change.

His commitment to ESG principles and his family’s legacy, as the grandson of Shibusawa Eiichi, the founder of Japan’s first bank, Mizuho Bank, inspire many in the global finance community.
