World Class Innovation Workshop in Japan · 20. August 2010

Under the head line ”World Class Innovation”, Center For TeleInfrastruktur (CTIF), Aalborg University hosts a Danish ICT delegation participating in an industrial promotion tour to Japan on 7-10 September this year.

The purpose of the visit is to further strengthen the business relations between Denmark and Japan. An important part of the visit is to brand the world class teaching method that Aalborg University is famous for and on top of that the successful way the Danish ICT companies are adopting this method in order to innovate and develop world class products and solutions.


Gateway to Japanese partners

In cooperation with Yokosuka Research Park (YRP) in Japan, CTIF’s local office in Japan will host the CTIF workshop ‘World Class Innovation’ where world class teaching, research and product development from Denmark will be presented to invited guests from the Japanese ICT industry and academia. Furthermore, the Danish companies will present their company and products. Yokosuka Research Park is global leader within radio and telecommunications technology.

The World Class Innovation event also offers One-on-One meetings between the Japanese participants and the Danish delegation. This is a unique marketing opportunity for Danish companies with respect to both existing and new partners and customers in Japan. In this connection, CTIF has invited Japanese guests according to the participating companies’ requests.
