Global Ties Detroit is pleased to welcome a distinguished delegation from Japan as part of the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP). During their visit to Detroit, participants will explore how collaboration between government, industry, investors, universities, and startup accelerators drives economic growth, innovation, and investment. We are honored to host these emerging leaders and look forward to fostering meaningful connections that strengthen the longstanding partnership between the United States and Japan while highlighting Detroit's dynamic innovation ecosystem.
