Innovation & Technology
San Diego is a leading innovation cluster in biotech and the Internet of Things, in addition to its already important position in information technology manufacturing, and defense and energy technologies. This led Professor Ulrike Shaede to launch the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology. Through this forum, she leads an initiative to bridge the ocean between Japan and San Diego by increasing communication between business and policymakers across the Pacific region as well as serving as a hub for interaction, exchange and collaboration, through research projects and global education programs.
