Establishment of the “Entrepreneur Mental Health Research Institute”

B Lab is establishing the “Entrepreneur Mental Health Research Institute,” a Lab-in-Lab dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs’ mental well-being. Entrepreneurs are constantly under high levels of stress and are considered to be at a higher risk of developing mental or neurological disorders and impairments.In Europe and the United States, research on entrepreneurs’ mental health is advancing in light of this situation, but in Japan, it is still in its early stages. As a pioneer in this field in Japan, this institute will conduct research. Starting with the establishment of this institute, B Lab will begin addressing the theme of well-being.

Nice to meet you!
