Japanese “Super Creator” software developers in Silicon Valley

Wednesday, June 6, 2007, 4:00PM - 8:00PM
ENGLISH
Partner Event
Partner Name: Information Technology Promotion Agency (IPA)

Overseen by the Japanese Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI), the Information Technology Promotion Agency (IPA) supports a number of promising software engineers in Japan with advising and grant programs designed to encourage the development of innovative new software applications. Since its inception in 2000, IPA’s Exploratory Software Project, known as “the MITOH Project” in Japanese, has supported over 1000 software engineers. The three developers who will present at this event are among an elite few in that group who have been conferred with the Super Creator title.
 
This event is a cooperative effort between IPA and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), a government related organization that promotes investment and economic linkages between Japan and the rest of the world. JETRO’s San Jose-based US-Japan Business Innovation Center (BIC), which supports US-bound technology ventures from Japan, will welcome the three Super Creators to Silicon Valley to explore collaboration and partnership possibilities at the frontier of innovative global business.
 
The event will include presentations by all three entrepreneurs who will introduce their respective technologies, products, and company strategies. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet and discuss business prospects directly with the Super Creators. Following the presentations, please enjoy a networking session with food and drinks.
