Join us for a conversation between EVP of Softbank Eric Gan and Dean Peter Cowhey on “Asian Internet Companies and the Global IT Industry Dynamics.” Asian IT and Internet firms, as well as Internet-based consumer-oriented services, now dwarf the U.S. market. This has created a new competitive dynamic in the global IT industry, and its associated providers, producers, and startup activities in the software, shopping, games, social media and other industries. Meanwhile, regulatory restrictions as well as privacy concerns loom large. How is this industry shaping up, and what do we need to know to understand its dynamics? A reception will be held following the talk. Co-sponsors: Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology and The Global Forum at International House
