This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Fujimoto who is homeless and a company president say "to meet various people and talk with them gives me a strong power."

Went to London for further study in 2009. After completed master's degree in the University of Westminster 2 years later, he founded the value of social capital, and established Happiness Architect company in London. In 2012 he did collaborations with innovators and took part in many project productions. Joined in TEDxUWestminster as a speeker in this year as well.

However, as the result of the fact that he laid too much stress on social capital, he exhausted all his funds and became homeless in 2013. But after that, he turned into the president of homeless company, and carried out the project of becoming friends with 500 innovators in London.

At present, he is making the most of his own social capital theory, joining activities as a freelancer in Tokyo.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
