How can scientific research be transformed into ideas that benefit society?
In this two-day program, participants will explore the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and discover how their research can help solve real-world problems.
On the first day, Mr. Tomonaga Kaneko from the Japan Finance Corporation (JFC) will introduce the basics of business idea development, including how to identify customer needs, create value, and develop solutions.
On the following day, participants from different countries will work together to develop research-based business ideas. Each team will create a business plan focusing on Value, Innovation, and Sustainability, with one opportunity to receive feedback from AI.
Teams will then present their ideas through posters, advertisements, and short performances, followed by a mock investment activity.
This program offers participants a unique opportunity to combine science, creativity, and international teamwork while exploring how their research can make a positive impact on society.
