Forum: Building a Brain Arc Between the U.S., Japan and Beyond for the Digital Future
The College of Arts and Sciences is hosting a forum featuring Dr. Shuzaburo Takeda, President of Takeda and Associates, and other guests that will discuss three topics: “Digital Era: Rust Belt to Brain Belt; Brain Arc from Midwest to Japan,” “From Midwest and South East to West to Japan to Southeast Asia to India and to Africa,” and “Brain Arc, Future of U.S. and Japan.” Seating is limited; RSVP by April 9.

Building a Brain Arc Between the U.S., Japan and Beyond for the Digital Future (Program).pdf85.97 KB
The Midwest region, once the heart of manufacturing in the 1960s, has been called the Rust Belt due to deindustrialization and economic decline in the region. In parts of this region, however, various advanced industries and universities have collaborated to adapt and to take advantage of the digital revolution in fields such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cyber Security. With an innovative eco-system being developed via smart city initiatives and digital human capital development, certain areas of the Rust Belt have successfully been emerging as hotspots of global innovation. Antoine van Agtmael and Fred Bakke call this region the Brain Belt in their book and have done research on what conditions, innovation and ecosystems could transform the Rust Belt to the Brain Belt. .On the other hand, once boasting overwhelming industrial competitiveness by quality control skills that Dr. Edwards Deming brought, Japan has lagged behind global competition in adopting the digital revolution and fallen into the lost decades of economic stagnation. Prime Minister Abe’s administration, however, puts his highest priority on developing human capital and strengthening university governance. Under this political agenda, some universities try to establish innovative eco-systems in cooperation with local industries and governments, introducing Data Science, AI, and Cyber Security into their regions. These universities, in collaboration with local industry and governments, are eager to learn successful models from leading U.S. universities and industries in the digital field. These developments are an example of a burgeoning of Brain Belt in Japan. The Abe administration is committed to support strongly these university efforts especially in collaborative activities with U.S. universities and industries. A strong bridge into the digital future by connecting the Brain Belts in both countries, through university active collaborations, could be called a Brain Arc. In this Forum, stakeholders from industries, universities, and governments in the US and Japan meet together to discuss issues, potential areas of collaboration, and the next steps to build this Brain Arc between the U.S.A., Japan and beyond.Program13:00 Opening Remark Ohio State Government13:05 Keynote Dr. Shuzaburo Takeda, President of Takeda and AssociatesDigital Era: exponential, convergence, and connectedDigital technology-based industry, digital-based society, digital-based human capitalData as the most valuable resourceDigital mind set leading to innovationFrom Rust Belt to Brain Belt; Value of Brain ArcFrom Midwest and South East to West to Japan to Southeast Asia to India and to AfricaNew pedagogy in digital era; developing humanity; new safety netFuture of US and Japan via Brain Arc13:20 Hub1 Dr. Christopher Hadad, Dean of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, The Ohio State UniversityOhio State University as the regional hub of innovationRegional economic development and Brain Arc by OSU13:35 Hub2 Japanese Universities and IndustriesNagoya University: NU-PRACTISS (The Nagoya University Project to Renovate A City into a Tech Innovative Smart Society)Dr. Kazuya Takeda, Presidential Adviser, Professor, Graduate School of InformaticsUniversity of Tsukuba: Innovation in TsukubaDr. Kenji Suzuki, Director, Center for Cybernics ResearchTohoku University:Dr. Hiroaki Kobayashi, Professor, Graduate School of Information SciencesEfforts and comments by Japanese Universities and Industries (TBD)14:10 Closing Remark Consulate General of Japan in Detroit (TBC)
