【DBJ Research No.450】Accelerating the Growth of a Sports Industry Suited to Japanese Society: Enhancing the Value of Sports IP, Building a Cycle of Growth Investment, and the Role Expected of Financial Institutions
Development Bank of Japan Inc. ("DBJ") has issued a research report titled "Accelerating the Growth of a Sports Industry Suited to Japanese Society: Enhancing the Value of Sports IP, Building a Cycle of Growth Investment, and the Role Expected of Financial Institutions."
Japan's sports industry has a solid foundation for growth. However, the mechanisms for turning its value into revenue remain underdeveloped, and so does the groundwork needed for leagues and clubs to be regarded as investment assets.
Drawing on overseas cases, this report looks at the industry from the perspective of combining sports with intellectual property, so that sports can be regarded as investment assets. It then proposes the roles that financial institutions should play when overseas practices are adapted to Japan's institutions, business practices and regional characteristics.
Details of the report can be found on the DBJ website " Research Reports ". We encourage you to refer to it.
Applying its corporate philosophy--"Design the future with financial expertise: Continue to expand financial frontiers; Provide the best solutions for customers and society; Pursue sustainable development for Japan and the world"--DBJ will continue to actively share information that benefits regional communities.
