Six entrepreneurs — four Japanese and one each from Hong Kong and the United States — were given awards for their innovative achievements in a ceremony at the Swedish Embassy in Tokyo this week.
At the fifth annual ceremony held Monday, six special prizes under this year's Entrepreneur Awards Japan were presented to the winners.
The Embassy of Sweden Award went to Chu Tsz-tat, the Hong Kong-born founder of Brand Pit, a startup that provides a market research service for brand managers that analyzes photos posted by brand fans on social networking services.
