Project Outline<\/h2>\n

PEP (Policy Entrepreneur\u2019s Platform) is a platform that focuses on building an environment for policy entrepreneurs to make influential policies through training, partnerships, and recognition of policy entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

On March 15th, 2019, the book \u201cWhat is the Think Tank?-Age of Policy Entrepreneurship\u201d, written by Dr. Yoichi Funabashi, API Chairman, was published by Chuokoron-Shinsha. Following this publication, API established \u201cProject for Policy Entrepreneurship\u201d in May of the same year. On September 9th, this project held the Symposium for Policy Entrepreneurship with the Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Tokyo. In November, this project was re-organized into PEP. On July 15th, 2020, \u201czooming PEP 2020\/Symposium for Policy Entrepreneurs – Opening the Windows -\u201d was held in order to celebrate the inauguration of PEP.<\/p>\n

API believes that only having open policy-making, governance, and innovation is no longer sufficient to solve the complex problems of modern societies. Instead, politics, bureaucracy, private sectors, academia, and NPO\/NGOs need to cooperate with each other to gather ideas and people together, to meet the new policy demands. Additionally, API regards policy entrepreneurs as key actors of problem-solving. PEP – administered by core members – has 3 missions which are: (1) to show what a policy entrepreneur is; (2) to expand the influence of policy entrepreneurs; and (3) to create an environment where policy entrepreneurs can shine. PEP thus carries out activities and events based on these three project missions.<\/p>\n
