Last year, the Japanese government announced incentives for corporate employees to move out of the Tokyo region. From April 2023, families ready to relocate to greener pastures will receive JPY1 million (£6,380) per child--an increase of JPY700,000 compared to such initiatives announced earlier. A family that relocates could receive up to a total of JPY5 million, including different benefits. The amount will cover the relocation costs. With this new incentive scheme, the government aims to ease overcrowding in the Tokyo region while bolstering more rural and remote areas of the country with an injection of youth and entrepreneurialism. Remember, Japan is not performing well with its startup ecosystem when compared with the global standards.However, the new initiatives add another challenge to the plate of Chief Operating Officers in the country.

It is obvious that, no matter how big or small your business is, you always face the threat of cyberattacks. COOs need proactive cybersecurity experts to create a more secure environment and ensure intact operations by hiring cybersecurity experts. This issue of CEO Insights is dedicated to some of the best COOs in Japan.
