Entrepreneurship Training Program

The Institute for the Promotion of Business-Regional Collaboration runs an entrepreneurship training program that aims to produce human resources who will flourish in the global arena as well as human resources who will play a central role in regional revitalization.

We are developing a program that aims to train human resources capable of facing the challenges of the global arena by offering practical lectures and workshops that boost such aspects of the entrepreneurial spirit as a sense of responsibility, self-discipline and not being afraid to make mistakes, and providing an environment that transcends the framework of sciences or humanities and where peers with the similar aspirations can spur each other on. We aim to leverage our support system and a network that includes people such as entrepreneurs, innovators and venture capitalists to nurture entrepreneurial talent in people capable of dreaming up new businesses and make their vision a reality.
