In September 2016 in Tokyo, Daniel Brewer was privileged to participate in a small way in the cross-party campaign to secure assets in Dormant Accounts in Japan for social innovation. 

He shared information about the ecosystem that was emerging in the UK: legal structures such as Community Interest Companies and Community Benefit Societies; tax reliefs like Community Investment Tax Relief and more recently Social Investment Tax Relief; technical assistance grants building capacity in social enterprises and helping them navigate transaction and contract hurdles.
