2nd JSIE Networking Event (Tokyo)

JSIE organized 2nd Reunion & Networking event on March 25, 2017!

This event offers opportunities to network, reconnect and meet with new colleagues and mentors from JSIE summer programs & events and to share own thoughts and recent experience with them. JSIE invites special guests, and this would be a good chance for participants to get some practical advice about feedback from the mentors and special guests. Participants are given opportunities to present their own business idea/plans and activities.

This time, we welcomed special guests, Ms. Satoko Kono of ARUN and Mr. Naofumi Iwai of Peatix, Inc. COO. It was such a great occasion for all of us to learn from their business experience and personal episodes as well as to gain invaluable advice.

JSIE thinks that it is quite important to create a space for people to share experience and learn from each other, and to connect with others. We are committed to create such a networking space for connecting diversified talents. Stay tuned for next JSIE networking event!
