In partnership with the Japan Society, based in New York City, N.Y., the Rural Futures Institute at the University of Nebraska will host five Japanese entrepreneurs and community leaders for a panel discussion.
Rural communities in Japan and the United States face similar challenges such as recruitment and retention of young people, decline of primary and local industries, sustainability of natural resources. Similarly, entrepreneurial leaders in both countries are thinking and acting boldly to identify and build on resources to develop creative, strategic solutions.
Panelists and guests will explore alternative models, best practices and strategies for creating resilient and vibrant rural communities of the future.
