I am Nikoroe. Nikoroe is a “forced” contraction and deformation of my name in Japanese: ニコラ ロイヨ. I am Nicolas Loeillot.

After 15 years in Japan as an entrepreneur in the A.I. industry, I moved to beautiful Switzerland for focusing on sharing my experience of growing innovation, helping entrepreneurs in their endeavor.

After being an Expert, I am now an accredited Coach for the Swiss Federal Agency for Innovation, InnoSuisse. I coach startups.

A permanent resident of Japan, I raised my 2 kids there, balancing multiple cultures and as many visions of the world. They are often subjects of my experiments.

I practice kyudo, the (difficult) Japanese archery martial art. I am a disciplined guy, a passionate about personal growth, cognitive health, productivity, education and knowledge management.

I share my points of view about my readings. I write in English or in French.

I also try to keep a diary about what I consume, buy, and do and that could be of interest. It is also a way to remember to pay attention to what I do now! and to review what grabbed my attention in the past.

Documenting our life is important and I try to capture nicely with photographs. I have no other ambition in this domain than capturing and experimenting. A complimentary experience is on もくもくと.

Following the downfall of Twitter, I'm working to recapture the charm of its early days on BlueSky.

Our world has become increasingly intolerant, if not nasty, and I post most of my content to subscribers. I am happy to have conversations with you as a subscriber. It is free but you must use your real identity.
