In late November 2018, I had the great fortune to participate in a cross-cultural exchange with students from National Taiwan University (NTU) — the best university in Taiwan.

And of course, I presented on my favorite topic of all time — women entrepreneurs and empowerment in Japan.

The official title is: "International Graduate Programme for East Asia Sustainable Economic Development Studies.”
