Next Innovators Tokyo (NIT) is an alumni group for those who participated in VIA’s social innovation programs programs. They recently teamed up with the Japan Alumni Committee (JAC) to hold an alumni reunion event in Tokyo. JAC has been in existence for over a decade, while the NIT group was formed just last year. The event included a design-thinking workshop and discussions of how to innovate more in Japan and connect VIA alumni to opportunities for engagement.
