Part 1: Creativity Tops the List - Office Chatani Reveals Key Traits of Intrapreneurs in Major Japanese Corporations

Office Chatani, Inc. (CEO: Masayuki Chatani) has announced the results of a survey they conducted on “intrapreneurs” in large companies, targeting those with over 1,000 employees. These results shed light on the actual state of business creation personnel in these companies.

Background

The world is currently in what has been called the VUCA age, where the business world is rapidly changing and uncertainty is growing. As the market and customers' needs change by the second, companies are expected to respond to these needs with flexibility and innovation. Under these circumstances, business creation is an essential initiative to maintain and strengthen a company’s competitive position. On the other hand, due to the scale of resources and complexity of their decision-making process, managers cannot focus solely on the business environment, but must also face challenges such as rigid internal organization and a risk-averse culture while striving to generate new value. Among them, “intrapreneurs,” or one who creates new businesses while working within an organization, have been attracting attention. Large companies have a strong desire for individuals willing to go against the existing business structure and culture and generate new value within the company. To that end, Office Chatani, Inc. conducted a survey targeting managers within large companies regarding intrapreneurship in such companies.

Survey summary

- Among companies with over 1,000 employees, over half of them have personnel who are considered “intrapreneurs”
- The largest age group for “intrapreneurs” is 40-49
- The top three common skills among intrapreneurs are 1. Creativity and Imagination, 2. Business Strategy Acumen, and 3. Autonomy and Independent Action
- Many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs
- The most important environmental factor for successful intrapreneurship is considered to be “a corporate culture that is tolerant of new challenges”
- Among companies indicating that they did not have any “intrapreneurs,” over 70% were not taking initiatives to cultivate intrapreneurship in their company
-  Among companies without “intrapreneurs,” many named “providing training and educational opportunities for new business” as an initiative for cultivating intrapreneurship
- Among companies without “intrapreneurs,” the top three challenges or obstacles for cultivating intrapreneurship were said to be 1. “Lack of a role model in the company”, 2. “Lack of internal resources (time, budget, personnel)”, and 3. “Lack of a system or culture to evaluate challenges.”

Survey overview

Period: April 4-15, 2025
Method: Online survey
Target: Managers at companies with over 1,000 employees (men and women from 20s to 60s)
Total surveyed: 107 people
Monitored by: RC Research Data

Among companies with over 1,000 employees, over half of them have personnel who are considered “intrapreneurs”For the first question, “Do you have any “intrapreneurs” in your company?”, the top responses were “No.” with 46.7%, “Yes, a fixed number.” with 32.7%, and “Yes, we have many.” at 20.6%. Through these responses, it was found that more than half of companies with over 1,000 employees have intrapreneurs.

The largest age group for “intrapreneurs” is 40-49
The next question was “What is the largest age group for intrapreneurs active in your company?” The top two responses were 40-49 (40.4%) and 30-39 (19.3%), so it was found that the most common age group for intrapreneurs was 40-49.

- The top three common skills among intrapreneurs are 1. Creativity and Imagination, 2. Business Strategy Acumen, and 3. Autonomy and Independent Action
Following that, respondents were asked “What are the common traits or skills among intrapreneurs active in your company?” The top responses were “Creativity and Imagination” with 54.4%, “Business Strategy Acumen” with 50.9%, and “Autonomy and Independent Action” with 49.1%. In addition, a number of other options outside the top three exceeded 40%, meaning that a large number of traits and skills are common among intrapreneurs.

- Many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs

Next, companies that indicated that they have intrapreneurs in their company were asked “How do you develop intrapreneurs at your company?”, with the top answers being “By supporting internal and external personal networking” with 43.9%, “By introducing an internal entrepreneurship system and new business solicitation system” with 42.1%, and “Through mentorship by management and senior employees,” “By participating in external training and seminars,” and “by introducing an evaluation and reward system that encourages proactive challenges” each tied at 38.6%. Based on these results, it was found that many companies are working on “supporting internal and external personal networking” for the purpose of developing intrapreneurs.

Uganda, the Pearl of East Africa: A New Destination for Investment and Sustainable Nature Tourism

  

Uganda, The Pearl of Africa, is emerging as a prime destination for sustainable tourism and long-term partnerships with Indonesia in tourism, ICT, and natural resource sectors.

Famous not only for its rich wildlife and cultural heritage, Uganda now invites stakeholders from Indonesia to explore its vast potential as a gateway for investment, collaboration, and long-term partnerships in tourism, information and communication technology (ICT), as well as mineral, oil, and gas resources.

To strengthen connections and shared growth, the Uganda High Commission in Malaysia will host the Uganda–Indonesia Business Forum on July 10, 2025, at Park Hyatt Jakarta. This forum will introduce Uganda’s tourism potential to travelers, tour operators, and businesses looking to expand into the East African region.

“Indonesia is an important market for Uganda. Both countries are rich in tourism destinations and natural resources—minerals, oil, and gas—which opens even greater partnership opportunities. This forum is not just a platform to showcase Uganda’s beauty, but also a step toward shared growth,” said H.E. Dr. Betty Oyella Bigombe, Uganda’s Ambassador to Malaysia, who is also accredited to Indonesia.

The forum will highlight Uganda’s rapid growth in the travel sector, mineral and oil & gas development, and digital innovation. Uganda offers significant opportunities in mineral exploration and value-added processing, particularly in sustainable mining practices that support local communities and protect the environment. Investment prospects also exist in mining infrastructure, processing facilities, and energy solutions. In the ICT sector, Uganda is actively promoting industry modernization and the development of technology parks. The forum will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, joint research, and innovative collaboration between institutions and companies from both countries.

“This forum aims to build bridges—between nations and across industries. Indonesia has a deep appreciation for nature and culture, which is where we see great potential for collaboration in hospitality, tour development, and community-based ecotourism,” Dr. Bigombe added.

The forum will feature structured sessions designed to foster dialogue, exchange ideas, and enable concrete collaboration. The event will begin with opening remarks from government officials of both countries, followed by curated networking sessions, including government-to-government (G2G) and business-to-business (B2B) meetings. It will conclude with a summary of forum outcomes and the formation of cross-sector working groups to follow up on key initiatives.

This forum invites travel industry players, business leaders, investors, and media to participate. It will include in-depth discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities to strengthen cross-country collaboration and unlock new market potential.
