The Japan Times to Participate as a Media Partner at the G1 Global Conference 2018
Tokyo, October 11, 2018 – The Japan Times, Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Representative: Takeharu Tsutsumi) will participate as a media partner at the G1 Global Conference 2018, to be held on Oct.14, 2018, in Tokyo.
Launched in 2011, the G1 Global Conference addresses global and regional challenges through discussions conducted in English. The G1 Global provides a unique opportunity for global leaders to interact, share visions for the future, and develop ideas into concrete action.
The theme for this year is “Connecting a Fractured World.” As President Donald Trump pursues an America First policy, various partnerships are being challenged. Japan and other allies are carefully balancing their interests with the United States while building relationships with other countries. At the same time, new technological innovations in AI, IoT, and blockchain are shaking the concepts of reliability, productivity, and privacy. The 8th G1 Global Conference will bring together the wisdom of various sectors from around the globe to create new connections in politics, business, society, and technology for this fractured world.
