About the Network

 

The U.S.-Japan Innovators Network is a multidisciplinary network of emerging and established innovative leaders committed to creating a better world. The Network explores new potential for U.S.-Japan collaboration by connecting people and ideas through network-building exchanges, private retreats, public forums, and long-term projects. Since its inception in 2005, Network members meet to generate ideas for collaboration, and wider discussion is facilitated through public forums featuring the work of the participants.

Network initiatives in Tokyo, Kyoto, New York, San Francisco, Pittsburgh and New Orleans have explored issues such as community revitalization, building essential skills for social innovators, new models for entrepreneurialism, crisis management and recovery, and the role of play in fostering creativity and innovation.

Moving forward, Japan Society will look for new ways to expand the Network, connecting innovative Japanese and Americans who are working to create social value and catalyze change for a better future.
