The center organized the first
"U.S.-Japan Technology Forum" at VIPPS in the spring of 1990, drawing
senior business people from the defense industries and governments of both countries.
Over 600 businessmen and observers have taken part in eighteen annual Fora,
fostering enhanced opportunities for joint business and technical cooperation.
Nearly 60 participants and observers
participated in the Nineteenth U.S.-Japan Technology Forum on May 13 and 14,
2008. In keeping with past traditions, the Forum divided its attention broadly
among three areas: general and specific policy developments affecting
industries and bilateral cooperation; industry and sector trends with
implications for cooperative projects; and, specific technologies that reflect
emerging areas for possible cooperation or could play a role in future
programs.
It is hoped that the relationships and
ideas developed during the forum can be used to benefit the defense industries
and defense itself on both sides of the Pacific.

Technology Fora are available below.
