Flashpoint Academy Welcomes Visitors and Senior Executives from Digital Concept Partners (DCP) from Osaka, Japan
DCP facilitates confidential match-making between those who have made proposals and DCP members (high-tech industry leaders in digital concepts) with whom the proponents wish to work.
Flashpoint Academy is developing a series of specific proposals and relationships thru DCP which will provide us and our students and faculty early and exclusive access to new digital technologies being developed in Japan years before these technologies are available to virtually anyone else in the United States.
This initiative is part of the City's International Development programs and also a part of the Chicago Sister Cities International Program. Thanks to Tim Hill, Jr. from the Sister Cities program for helping to arrange this visit and relationship. We were ably assisted in our meetings by Dan Hodapp from our FP Admissions group who is a fluent speaker of Japanese.
