| Japan's Economic Impact on Kentucky: Then, Now, Beyond |

Japan’s economic impact on Kentucky has grown steadily for
over twenty years. Our unique partnership has created
friendship and prosperity for both nations.
How did this impact come about?
How does it affect each of us today?
How can we guide its growth beyond today?
Please join JASK and the Cabinet for Economic Development in
a discussion, an idea session, about these questions and the
unique partnership between Japan and Kentucky.
