Course description and aims

For students interested in starting a venture business, the program will provide a practical curriculum aimed at the "commercialization of research themes" through the creation of a concrete business plan. In addition, we will invite Tokyo Tech graduates who started their own ventures as guests to share their business experiences and focus on fieldwork, which is a unique feature of the Ota Citycollaborative project. The program will provide opportunities for stimulating experiences, such as visits to unique facilities in the City, including cutting-edge incubation facilities and town factories that are normally inaccessible, as well as business presentations from the people in charge of each facility. Guests from Kajima Corporation, Kiriboshi Bank, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and others are scheduled to give lectures. Additionally, visits to facilities such as Haneda Innovation City (HIC), JAL SKY MUSEUM, and factory apartments (Techno FRONT Morigasaki) are also planned.
If the number of participants exceeds 15, a drawing will be held.
