Japan Zoominar @ UC San Diego: "The Contest for Japan's Economic Future: Entrepreneurs Vs. Corporate Giants" with Richard Katz
Wed, Jan. 24, 9:00-10:00 am JST (Tue, Jan. 23, 4:00-5:00 pm Pacific)
Shifts in society and technology are giving Japan its greatest opportunity for economic revival in a generation, thanks to a resurrection of the kind of entrepreneurship that created the postwar economic miracle. Yet, inertia and outright resistance could prevent the positive trends from reaching critical mass. Join Richard Katz for a discussion of what's changing in Japan and what's still holding Japan's innovation ecosystem back.
