Course description and aims
In order to learn about the option of "entrepreneurship" as a career path, we will invite presidents of Tokyo Tech venture companies as guest speakers to talk about their business experience and conduct exercises related to entrepreneurship. The program will also focus on fieldwork and provide opportunities for stimulating experiences such as visits to unique facilities in Ota City, including cutting-edge incubation facilities and town factories, which are generally inaccessible, as well as business presentations from the people in charge of each facility. Guests from various companies (Sigma Energy, Prototype, IWAMA Co. Ltd., Kajima Corporation, Jonan Shinkin Bank, Bocek, iMott, Piezo Sonic, Tokyo Stock Exchange, etc.) will give lectures on their activities. We will visit various facilities (Haneda Innovation City (HIC), JAL SKY MUSEUM, factory apartments (Techno FRONT Morigasaki), etc.).
If the number of participants exceeds 30, a drawing will be held （with priority to WISE-SSS students).
