革新 (Kakushin)—the Japanese word for innovation—is more than just a buzzword; it’s a way of thinking deeply embedded in the culture. This week in Japan, I had the chance to see this mindset in action. From breakthroughs in telecom and sustainability to advancements in health sciences and AI, the innovation here doesn’t just skim the surface—it dives straight into the foundations that shape our future. Standing against the breathtaking backdrop of the Tokyo National Museum, I share some of the key takeaways from NTT DATA’s R&D Forum and Applied Innovation Summit. Let’s just say, when it comes to kakushin, Japan isn’t just keeping pace—it is intent on redefining it.

I had the pleasure to moderate a diverse and enlightened panel from a wide range of backgrounds in Tech Diplomacy at a side event of AsiaBerlin summit yesterday organized in cooperation with the Embassy of Bangladesh ,Berlin, Center for Science, Technology and Diplomacy and BUET BMES Student Chapter which had been attended by a good number of Start-up founders from various Universities. "Debunking Existence or Extinction" of start-ups is an interesting discourse which we often address with prevailing constrains the founders encounter: access to finance or mismatch between ideas and viability in terms of market penetration etc. The panelists which consist of founders, ex-founders, UN system, academia , VC firm, impact start-up ecosystem and alternative financing made the discussion provocative and insightful for the young founders from different universities of Bangladesh who could not make it to the #AsiaBerlin Summit this year due to some administrative constraints. From the panel discussion, my takes will be : a. We need to ensure enhanced cooperation between the academia of Global North-South to minimize #digitaldivide and #accesstotechnology divide through all means; b. The access to the ecosystem infrastructure and lab facilities of Global North are crucial for the young entrepreneurs during the tertiary education years and vice versa for the students in Global North to understand the problems and market potentials in the developing countries; c. The budding entrepreneurs need to be mentored properly ( legislation, policies, cultural sensitivity, perception , EQ and politics of technologies etc. with the tools of Tech Diplomacy. We are developing a course on Tech Diplomacy ; d. The market size of the Global South countries like Bangladesh ( ~180 million people) could be attractive for the start-ups in the Global North in terms of economies of scale ; e. The Global matchmaking platform(#GMP) initiated by the collaboration among Climate Club, UNIDO , OECD - OCDE and International Energy Agency (IEA) needs to develop a mechanism to encourage young entrepreneurs in the Global South interested in green industrialization in terms of #accesstofinance and #accesstotechnology. #sciencediplomacy #digitaldivide #techdiplomacy #diversity Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh , Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany ,Center for Science, Technology and Diplomacy , Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH , GIZ Bangladesh , Diplomacy by Networking , CERN Quantum Technology Initiative , EU Science Diplomacy Alliance , Global Diplomacy Lab (GDL) , ESSAM ALGOBAISI , Muhammad Tarik Arafat , Rubaiyat Sadat , Timo Bey (貝天慕) , Leyla Baghirzade , Harun Lone , Sarbojit Pal,Marten Rauschenberg , Natalia Sahagun ,Rainer Seider
