On Jan 26, the Stanford SV-NJ project held a public symposium as part of its IT Policy Study Group in collaboration with the Keio Media Design School, at the Keio University Mita campus. Kenji Kushida and Taizo Son, founder and CEO of Mistletoe, each gave presentations about Silicon Valley and Japan from an academic and business perspective, respectively. They then formed a panel, moderated by Professor Ichiya Nakamura of Keio University, and had a lively discussion about the topics including mechanisms for regulatory change in Japan, the role of artificial intelligence, and how Japan can better utilize the Silicon Valley ecosystem.
