What's ahead for the venture, and also offers insights and advice for leaders and entrepreneurs of the future.

Robin Lewis is also a social entrepreneur, speaker and educator who works as the Representative Director of Social Innovation Japan - one of NIKKEI’s ‘100 Companies Building the Future’.

Robin Lewis is also the co-founder of MyMizu, an award-winning community-building app listing clean water refill areas across Japan and beyond to improve health, reduce plastic waste and connect with more ethical businesses.
