Hosted by: Global Leader Program for Social Design and Management (GSDM), the University of Tokyo
Purposes:
East Asia is witnessing an epochal transformation. In a handful of decades it has risen as the center of the world’s manufacturing sector as well as the largest market for consumer goods, raw materials, and energy. Such transformation has been made possible by the massive improvements in human capital and governance, as well as investments, which have enabled the region to successfully make use of imported technologies first, and then proceed to develop new ones.
As Japan did in the past century, it is expected that East Asia as a whole will transition from being mainly an importer of technology to a major producer and exporter. Innovation is one of the key drivers of such a trend, but policy making and financial ingenuity will be equally influential. All these dynamics have already massively impacted the region’s geopolitical postures and are most likely to be even more transformative in the future.
The energy sector lies at the convergence between geopolitical competition, large-scale policy making, economic growth, innovation, and environmental protection. This Symposium intends to explore the nexus between energy, geopolitics, policy and innovation, with a realistic view on the chances for the improvement of cooperation and exchange in East Asia, as well as the role which educational institutions can play in this context.
