Dear all, we hope it finds you all well. We wish we have a good luck and health in 2021.

You are cordially invited our virtual meetup on February 27, Saturday, 14:00(JST).

The topic of our first HBSO official Tokyo Chapter Virtual Meetup in 2021 is: 

HBS alumnus Leadership case discussion against COVID-19; 

Moderna which produces vaccine for the world, which has been currently the hot topic in Japan and in the world.

We would kindly invite Japan and Global HBSO past and current participants and their friends.

We also welcome new members to our community and our old community members.

To join the virtual event, 

Please RSVP in advance to register. Thank you.

For the discussion, we use a HBS case as a reference material.

It’s timely and interesting, because one of the reasons is that Moderna CEO is an alumnus of HBS. 

Mr. Stephane Bancel, CEO of biotech firm Moderna, (MBA2000) is now facing on producing the vaccine against COVID-19.

We are in HBSO community, so let's think and discuss, share the ideas with other smart HBSO members;

It's a casual discussion. So feel free to join us.
