The GTIE Student Entrepreneurship Education Program (GTIE-SEP) 2023 Silicon Valley Training Adoption Review Meeting and Meetup (3rd) was held at CIC Tokyo (Toranomon) on Saturday, December 16, 2023.
As a result of pitches by eight teams that passed the written screening, two teams were selected to participate in the Silicon Valley training program. We look forward to their further study in the Silicon Valley!
Professor Ashizawa of Keio Business School, who was in San Francisco until this summer, gave an interesting talk about the “now” of West Coast students and university-related entrepreneurship, which enlivened the audience.

-GTIE Student Training Entrepreneurship Education Program (GTIE-SEP) 2023
GTIE-SEP is an entrepreneurship education program open to students (undergraduate and graduate students) from all universities participating in GTIE. The program offers three types of training starting in October to students who are interested in entrepreneurship, want to start a business in the future, or want to start a business next year. The goal of the program is to provide each training program and monthly meetups to make friends who are interested in entrepreneurship/entrepreneurship, and to have fun while achieving results for all participants.
