Tokio, december 2016 – Nederland en Japan zijn beiden toonaangevend waar het gaat om ICT en ICT toepassingen. Koploper (willen) zijn brengt naast kansen ook risico’s met zich.

Tijdens een drukbezocht Symposium in Tokio, geopend door SGEZ Maarten Camps, bespraken Japanse en Nederlands experts en beleidsmakers de gemeenschappelijke uitdagingen, oplossingen en kansen.
