Xymax to start Karakusa Real Estate Academy

Background

Real estate has always been the social infrastructure that is essential for our life and activities. In this rapidly changing world, how to use the real estate is becoming even more important for the society, companies and individual persons because it impacts our life and business. From now on, the future of real estate should be considered based on all the social and economic changes such as globalization, declining population, declining birthrate, aging society, more women in workplace, working style change, progress in ICT and aging of buildings.

Therefore, for the years to come, real estate industry needs professionals who are well aware of all the issues surrounding us and can act based on forward-looking ideas. Unfortunately there is no place to train such future leaders in the real estate industry in today's Japan, but it is obvious that we need it for the continuous growth of the industry, which is one of the most important industries in Japan, and for the growth of the society through it. Companies will also need experts who can use their strategic real estate approach for corporate management.

That was the background of Xymax's decision to start an academy "Karakusa Real Estate Academy". We feel it is necessary to train future leaders as part of our efforts for "seeding for the future". Those willing to take part in making a better future through real estate will gather in the academy and inspire each other. Our academy is a place of learning through communications and discussions and a place for participants to think about the future of the real estate as well as the society.

Xymax Real Estate Institute will be the organizer of the academy. Professor Kiyohiko Nishimura from Graduate School of Economics, Faculty of Economics, The University of Tokyo (former Deputy Governor of Bank of Japan) and Professor Chihiro Shimizu from Institute of Real Estate Studies National University of Singapore will be the advisors of the academy. Lecturers who agreed to our idea of starting the academy will collaborate with us.This is a new challenge for the further growth of the real estate industry. We appreciate your understanding of our idea and your support for us. Thank you.
