Japan Program Winter 2022 Webinar Series
This speaker series brings together American and Japanese leaders who work at the intersection of research, business, and policy-making to share their visions for the future of technology and innovation with social impact — what we call “social tech” — and to explore regulatory, market, and educational environments conducive to the development of social tech.
Join us at the Japan Program’s winter webinar series, “The Future of Social Tech: U.S.-Japan Partnership in Advancing Technology and Innovation with Social Impact”, to meet our lineup of experts who all seek to catalyze and advance partnerships in social tech between Japan and the United States — two of the most important sources of technological advancements in the past half-century.
