Georgia–Japan Summit: Building Bridges of Innovation, Culture, and Opportunity

The Georgia–Japan Summit is a landmark event convening policymakers, business leaders, creators, academics, and civic innovators from across Georgia, the U.S., and Japan. As part of the second leg of the ongoing KINND|ship cross-border feasibility exploration—led by Qore Base (USA), Qrea8iv (Japan), and KINND|x—this summit is a bold step forward in fostering shared innovation, development, and community investment across borders.

Hosted in the spirit of Common Unity, the summit serves as both a celebration of international collaboration and a working platform to explore joint solutions for smart cities, film and entertainment, technology, education, and sustainable development. It builds upon the foundational visit held in 2024 and amplifies shared momentum toward long-term cultural exchange and economic partnership between Georgia and Japan.

This dynamic multi-day event will feature:

• Policy Roundtables on smart city innovation, high-speed transportation, and regional economic planning

• Industry Forums with leaders in film, media, cybersecurity, and tech innovation

• Cultural Performances and showcases from both Japan and Georgia’s creative communities

• Pitch + Partnership Tracks for startups, municipalities, and organizations looking to scale internationally

• Workforce Development Dialogues with HBCUs, universities, and business leaders focused on inclusive talent pipelines

• KINND|x Community Vision Lab sessions to crowdsource ideas and build the foundation for KINND|cities and KINND|exchange

Together, we are activating a new paradigm of shared impact—where governments, communities, and changemakers align around the principles of collaboration, innovation, equity, and sustainable progress.
