be the keynote speaker at this year's
conference. Mr. Saffo is a forecaster with over two decades'

long-term change. He teaches at Stanford University where he is also a

The Japan-US Innovation Awards recognize the creativity and dynamism
of Japanese and US companies that have
brought to market leading-edge technologies and business models, and
for whom the trans-Pacific bridge is an
integral part of their vision. The annual Awards will be presented to
one Japanese and US company each in three
different award categories:

• World Changers--companies whose ground-breaking technologies are
changing the world we live in
• Intrapreneurs--established companies who show that entrepreneurism
can come from within
• Emerging Leaders--the World Changers of the future
A senior executive from each winning company will accept an award for
each category and join panel discussions
about the innovative process.
