ABOUT
We contribute to creating a free, open, and sustainable future by promoting policy entrepreneurship as a new method of political participation in democracy and supporting those who take on the role of policy entrepreneurs.
The book "What is a Think Tank? - The Era of Policy Entrepreneurism" *only available in Japanese, was published in March 2019, followed by the project launch in May of the same year. In September, the "Policy Entrepreneurism Symposium 2019" took place, culminating in the establishment of "PEP" in November.
The project is primarily managed by the secretariat of the Asia Pacific Initiative (API) at the International House of Japan, a public interest incorporated foundation.
