Silicon Valley - New Japan Summit 2019 at Stanford University, Novermber 18-19, 2019

On November 18-19, Stanford US-ATMC, Ishin, and Japan Management Association co-hosted the Silicon Valley-New Japan Summit 2019 at Stanford University. 600 people attended, with over 80 startups from Silicon Valley and almost 400 people from Japanese companies. We learned so much about new and exciting efforts to collaborate with the Silicon Valley ecosystem, along with new evolutions from companies we already heard from before. We are at a new level of engagement in terms of depth and breadth of Silicon Valley - Japan engagement, and we hope to see many of the current efforts underway succeed.

Heartfelt thank you to all the panelists, attendees, and event supporters.
