3. Kiyoshi Kurokawa: Take a Leap ! in the Connected World
Starting his career as medical practitioner, specializing in nephrology (kidney disease) , Kiyoshi’s field of activities took a big leap beyond the medical practice. At 84 years strong, Kiyoshi is one of the most globally recognized opinion leaders from Japan. He was the chairman of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission. “How could this happen in Japan, a country with reputation for excellence in engineering and manufacturing,” questions Kiyoshi. "Japan has to show leadership to learn from failure and disaster." Kiyoshi encourages the young people of Japan to “take a leap!” Getting college credit or not is irrelevant. It is the experience that should be valued, gaining new perspectives about Japan. For the world, Kiyoshi sends his greetings. “There are many young eager stars in Japan. Come work with us, come study with us.” We live in a connected world."
