The 6th JIEPP Symposium

India, which became the world's most populous country in April 2023, is set to host the G20 summit in September 2023. Additionally, it was placed 9th position in terms of the high-quality research papers (top 1% adjusted paper count), surpassing Japan in this regard. India has also made significant strides in various fields, such as supplying talent to senior positions in global IT companies like Google. To accommodate students from India, which is experiencing such remarkable growth, Japan needs to demonstrate a comprehensive "exit strategy" for international students, outlining pathways for employment in Japan after graduating from universities or graduate schools.

The current situation shows that while India produces over a million graduates in the STEM fields every year, Japanese companies lag behind in acquiring highly skilled Indian talent. This disparity has contributed to a decline in Japan being a priority as a study destination for aspiring Indian students.

In this symposium, we will invite speakers such as university faculty members who actively support the career development of undergraduate and graduate students, Japanese business owners operating in India, and former Indian students who have found employment in Japan as part of the discussion. Through their presentations and discussions, we aim to explore the collaboration and initiatives required by universities and businesses to further attract highly skilled Indian talent. They will show case studies and share their experiences in order to shed light on this topic.
