My current research topic: California State Laws
California State has the Silicon Valley Area, where a lot of wonderful startup companies have been created, and is thriving with dairy and agriculture.

I am grateful if I can become a bridge between Japan and California State in supporting for companies expanding overseas and companies involved in dairy farming or agriculture.
