1. Speaker Profile
Her name is Rina Sakai. She is the CEO of a company called Fermenstation. It is a start-up company that regenerates and circulates unused resources with its fermentation technology. The origin of the name comes from fermentation and station. After graduating from ICU, she joined Fuji Bank.

2. The issue
It is the utilization of unused resources. Many resources in society are still available but underutilized. The goal is to use them without waste and create a recycling-oriented society.
3. Motivation
Meet and talk to lots of new people. And it is to keep moving forward while imagining what you want to achieve. You may come across an unexpected opportunity by meeting many people. It could be an event that changes your life. I think that her motivation is to keep moving forward with an image so that she doesn't deviate from her goal while having such expectations.
4. Community
I think it is a community of similar interests. I believe that people who want to improve the world have gathered and created a new community.
5. Engage with the community
I think I'm involved with the community while involving a lot of people. I believe that it is only by involving various people that new values can be created.
6. Skills
Don't be afraid to fail and keep doing what you want to do. Even if you fail, you will be able to reach your goal someday by gaining experience and learning from it, and moving forward.
7. My Discoveries
I think there are times when women are forced to make choices when they live in society. For example, choosing a family or choosing a career. I used to think achieving both was very difficult, almost impossible, but when I heard Mr. Sakai say that if all family members were independent, they didn't have to give up on their careers, I realized that women shouldn't give up on what they want to do or set their limits. I moved that she said.
