Singapore, Singapore – The President of GLOBIS Asia Campus and GLOBIS Asia Pacific, Tomoko Katsurayama, spoke at the 28th Future of Asia conference, hosted by Nikkei. Katsurayama participated in the panel titled “Cultural Exchanges Nurture Asia’s Next Generation,” which was co-sponsored by the Japan Foundation.
Future of Asia is a conference where political, economic, and academic leaders from APAC discuss regional issues and Asia’s role in the world. Held by Nikkei every year since 1995, it is considered to be one of the most important global conferences in Asia.
The discussions at this year’s conference included how Asia should face global challenges such as climate change, the polarizing global political climate, and the fragmentation of supply chains. Participating leaders this year included Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Lawrence Wong, Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Tran Luu Quang, President of Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe, Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, Don Pramudwinai, and Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida.
Tomoko Katsurayama, the President of GLOBIS Asia Campus, participated in the “Cultural Exchanges Nurture Asia’s Next Generation” panel co-sponsored by the Japan Foundation. The other panelists included Yupharet Eakturapakal, the Founder and CEO of G-Yu Creative and Prim Phloeun, the Executive Director of Living Arts International. The session was moderated by Yuri Sato, the Executive Vice President of The Japan Foundation.
During the panel, Katsurayama said, “Exposure to diverse values in different cultures is an opportunity to create new innovations,” and further called for “more businesspeople to be active in the world by immersing themselves in different cultures.”
Since 2012, the Singapore-based office has been supporting companies and businesspeople in Southeast Asia with corporate education to encourage continuing professional growth. In October 2019, offerings were expanded to include Pre-MBA courses for businesspeople. The GAC office provides corporate training services to other countries who are part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and more.
