As US-Japan civil space cooperation continues, ties between aerospace companies in Florida and Japan continue to grow. How do these partnerships work and what can we do to encourage cross-border collaboration? Join us for a discussion with industry experts, featuring experts from Japanese space organization, Cross U, Space Florida, Miami-Dade County, Boeing Global Service, and FEAM Aero.
JASMSFL’s Japan Currents program is part of a series presented by Japan-America Societies across the U.S., made possible through the support of the Embassy of Japan and the National Association of Japan-America Societies. This series brings expert perspectives from the U.S. and Japan on contemporary issues to local audiences and fills and important need for information at a time of increased interest in the bilateral relationship between the two countries. As the only national public affairs program series focusing on the US-Japan relationship, Japan Currents serves an important part of the mission of Japan-America Society network.
