Starting a business is one of the ways to utilize the results of research for the benefit of society.
In recent years, the number of university-launched ventures has been increasing, but how do university-launched ventures start and grow, and what kind of support programs are available?
What are the advantages of choosing to start a business?
What is the process of starting a business?
What are the on-campus support programs for establishing a venture?
What are the key points in preparing an application for the GAP Fund Program* for starting a business?
Researchers who have experience in setting up ventures, researchers who aim to set up ventures, and those in charge of entrepreneurship support will answer these questions.
Those who are thinking about starting a business, those who are interested in starting a business, those who want to know more about university-launched ventures, and those who want to get hints on how to apply research results to society are especially encouraged to attend.
* Public offering is scheduled to begin in September 2024.
