Past Program

The  Japan-India Transformative Technology Network connects and empowers outstanding change-makers in two countries in the forefront of technological progress in Asia – India and Japan.  It offers a platform for those working towards social good to maximize the benefits of various forms of new technologies.  Together, Fellows develop innovative ideas to apply technology to products, processes, policymaking, organizational practices, and financing across three related sets of challenges: health systems; accessibility, mobility, and inclusion; and living and livable communities.  These three challenge areas are ripe for disruptions from new technologies, partnerships, and innovations that can deliver benefits relevant for Japan, India, and the world as a whole.

The appearance of the Covid-19 pandemic right after the Network’s launch in 2020 resulted in the postponement of in-person meetings.  However, during this time, online meetings have allowed Fellows to share their ideas to address common interests and challenges, which have also resulted in them developing collaborative projects together. 

This program offered the first opportunity for Fellows of the first cohort to meet together in person since the pandemic.  Together, they have the opportunity to further their own existing work, including the collaborative projects they have developed been developing, as well as to discuss the issues, build their skills, and consider new projects for the future. 

Participation at this meeting is limited to existing members of the Network.
