Fellows will regularly meet online before convening in person at Schloss Leopoldskron in June 2023
Salzburg Global Seminar and the Nippon Foundation are delighted to welcome new Fellows to the Japan-India Transformative Technology Network.
The new Fellows, who completed a competitive application process, will meet regularly online between January and June 2023, and convene in person at Salzburg Global's home, Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg, in June 2023.
The Network, which began in 2020, connects and empowers outstanding changemakers from India and Japan to create positive change through people-centered technology in the three challenge areas of health and healthcare, mobility and inclusion, and liveable communities.
From 2020-2022 thirty Fellows successfully participated in the first convening of the Network. Fellows from the first and second iterations of the program will have the opportunity to meet and work together, allowing for cumulative impact from the work of the two groups.
Together the Fellows will build their collective leadership capacity by learning from each other and expanding ideas and ways of working to support the use of technology for positive social change. As the Japan-India Transformative Technology Network progresses, Fellows will collaborate through project work and other activities to create new narratives and influence policy and institutional change on the three challenge areas identified above.
The Japan-India Transformative Technology Network participants represent a variety of sectors and backgrounds, with interdisciplinary approaches fundamental to the program's design. The group is evenly split between representatives from India and Japan, and just over half of the participants are female.
