Initiatives & Impact
In the Santen, JBFA, and IBF Foundation partnership we have set forth a common vision: "Bringing down the walls between those who can see and those who can't, turning society into a stage on which anyone can shine.” The three parties are developing various activities as the VISI-ONE project, multiplying each other's strengths. More specifically, our goals are: 1) Sharing experiences to understand each other's differences and strengths, 2) Creating innovation in "seeing", and 3) Improving quality of life for the visually impaired. To achieve these goals, we have raised awareness regarding visually impairment through our joint support for international blind football tournaments. In 2022, we hosted the VISI-ONE Accelerator Programme, which aims to support the creation of new businesses that pursue innovations related to "eyesight" and bring down the walls related to visual impairment.
