SUMMARY:From Emojis to QR Codes: Japan’s Innovation Secrets
DESCRIPTION:What do emojis\, QR codes\, hybrid vehicles\, anime and video games have in common? They are all products of Japan’s unique approach to creativity and innovation. \nWhile Japan is often recognized for refining existing technologies\, it has also produced many groundbreaking ideas of its own that have gone on to redefine entire industries. What enables this kind of innovation — and can it be replicated elsewhere? \nIn this talk\, Hiroaki Niihara — who played a key role in the national government to develop Japan’s modern approaches to economics — shares insights from decades of experience in government and industry. Through examples of pioneering technologies produced in Japan will highlight how the country’s trends in organizational structure\, talent development and creative thinking drive innovation. But beyond stating what has worked in Japan\, Niihara will share what global audiences can learn from it. \nWith a career spanning over 40 years\, including leadership roles at the Ministry of International Trade and Industry\, Hiro Niihara played a leading role in formulating Japan’s growth and distribution policies—including “Abenomics” and “New Capitalism”—under the Abe and Kishida administrations. \nThis public lecture series is organized by the Peter F. Cowhey Center on Global Transformation at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). For more information on center activities\, please visit ccgt.ucsd.edu. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact GPS Events Coordinator April Hickman.

SUMMARY:How India Is Reimagining Government Through Digital Innovation
DESCRIPTION:How can digital systems improve access to public services\, health care\, education and financial inclusion at national scale? India offers a glimpse into this type of technological governance. The country’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has become a globally significant model for how governments can use technology to deliver services more effectively\, efficiently and inclusively. \nIn this talk\, Manoj Ahuja will discuss how DPI is transforming agriculture through AgriStack and education through platforms like the Academic Bank of Credits and DIKSHA. Then\, Arti Ahuja will examine how DPI is reshaping health care through the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and supporting informal sector workers through the e-Shram database\, linking citizens to public entitlements\, skill-building and employment opportunities. \nThis public lecture series is organized by the Peter F. Cowhey Center on Global Transformation and the 21st Century India Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). \nIf you have any questions\, please contact GPS Events Coordinator April Hickman.
