26 April, 2018: The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) will host Japan’s Minister of Economy Trade and Industry Hiroshige Seko at the India-Japan Start-up Hub Seminar at the IIMB Auditorium, from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, on April 30 (Monday).The seminar is jointly organized by IIMB, NASSCOM and the Japan External Trade Organization.
The Minister will also formally inaugurate the India Japan Study Centre at IIMB after his talk.
Realizing the enormous potential to leverage each other’s technical capabilities, in 2017 Indian and Japanese Prime Ministers through the joint declaration agreed to establish the ‘India-Japan Startup Hub’ which would serve as a platform for promotion of information exchange, business collaboration and investments between the vibrant and innovative start-up ecosystems of the two nations. Minister Hiroshige Seko’s talk will highlight the various programs and activities to be taken up under the Joint Startup Hub initiative.
On September 14, 2017, when Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Rs.1.1 trillion high speed rail project, IIMB set about deepening India and Japan’s bilateral engagement – especially economic and educational ties, by inaugurating the India-Japan Study Centre on campus on the same day. The aim of the India Japan Study Centre at IIMB is to promote understanding of Japan in India and India in Japan through research, teaching and policy outreach efforts. “At a macro level, there are complementarities between India and Japan in the sphere of economic development. We have a lot to learn from Japan on infrastructure and technology management, and we can offer them insights on the start-up culture,” says Prof. G. Raghuram, Director, IIMB. The hosting of the Joint Startup Hub Seminar, on April 30, is one such step in this direction.
Speakers at the seminar include IIMB Director G Raghuram, Saurabh Srivastava, Co-Founder, India Angel Network, Kazuya Nakajo, Chief Director General, JETRO, New Delhi, Debjani Ghosh, President, NASSCOM, and Yasushi Akahoshi, President, JETRO.
