[JPI Seminar] Decoding 'Sports Business Growth Theory': The Potential of Japanese Sports Business and the Value of Stadiums and Arenas - June 4th (Thu)

The Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is inviting Yoshino Sakai, Deputy Director of the Industrial Research Department at the Development Bank of Japan, to conduct a seminar detailing the potential of the Japanese sports business and the value of stadiums and arenas. This lecture will examine the structural challenges and growth potential of the Japanese sports industry, focusing on the growth cycle hypothesis. While sports hold significant social influence in Japan, this value has rarely translated into revenue for leagues, clubs, or facilities. This seminar will organize the latest trends in facility development through public-private partnerships and business schemes, exploring ways to lead the industry toward sustainable growth. The target audience includes corporate planning departments, the real estate and construction industries, and financial institutions.
