In these University Briefings, Executive Director Laura Younger presents to delegates from education and research institutions in a personalized briefing to introduce the ACCJ, provide insights on the critical issues facing Japan today, and how the ACCJ helps international companies navigate the business landscape in Japan.
These meetings lay the foundation for a university delegation’s visit to Japan by providing a forum to engage students and professors in a meaningful discussion on Japan’s industries, bilateral commerce between the U.S. and Japan, and related fields. The session agenda is tailored to each group’s field of study or program content.
Topics have included Japanese business culture, tech policy, U.S.-Japan relations, aging demographics, gender gap in the labor market, healthcare/pharmaceutical industry, AI & machine learning, the power of networking, and more.
