IdP Researcher Matching Event COMMIT2021
In the JST SCORE project, the Innovation Design Platform (IdP: a cooperative organization body of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Keio University, the University of Tokyo, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University) promotes inter-university cooperation in the consideration of entrepreneurship. When aiming to start a business, the scope of researchers’ ideas is often limited to the scope of the originator’s expertise. To achieve a high level of business potential, collaboration across universities, faculties, and departments may be necessary. Based on the awareness of the need for a mechanism to facilitate this collaboration, the IdP will hold a researcher-to-researcher matching event (named COMMIT) in the following manner.
All staff/students of IdP participating institutions are welcome to attend!
– Main purpose:.
To enable staff and students of IdP institutions who wish to start their own businesses to try out/examine their ideas (regardless of the field).
To seek partners* to work together on issues and items that are difficult for the originator to solve alone, and to seek the formation of a cooperative team.
*COMMIT 2021 seeks partners who are employees or students of IdP institutions.
