The Global Research & Policy Institute (GRPI) had the pleasure of supporting Nadeshiko-kai a network of women working in public policy on 29 September.

The session welcomed Ikuo Misumi Chief Digital Officer at Japan's Digital Agency who spoke on "Japan's Digital Policy: Where We Stand and Where We Are Headed." Drawing on the Agency's initiatives and the plan recently approved by the Cabinet his remarks gave participants a clearer picture of how far Japan's digital transformation has come and where it is heading next.

A Q&A followed with participants posing a variety of questions and joining in a vibrant discussion.Our warm thanks go to Mr. Misumi for taking time out of a packed schedule to share his perspective and to everyone who took part.

GRPI will continue to stand behind Nadeshiko-kai and other public policy initiatives that convene diverse expertise and viewpoints and that open the way to fresh dialogue and new connections.
