GTIE Student Entrepreneurship Program 2023 Call for Participating Students


The Greater Tokyo Innovation Ecosystem (GTIE) is a platform of 14 universities in the Tokyo metropolitan area that aims to nurture entrepreneurial talent and develop university-launched startups that will change the world.
The GTIE Student Entrepreneurship Program 2023 (GTIE SEP) is an entrepreneurship program for all students at universities participating in GTIE. What is entrepreneurship? The program is open to everyone from those who have no idea what entrepreneurship is to those who have made up their minds to start their own business. While participation is based on on-demand viewing, selected teams of applicants can also participate in domestic and international training programs.
All participants in the program will be provided with various opportunities to meet others with similar interests, challenge training together, brush up on ideas and business plans, and receive harsh comments abroad. Those who want to know what entrepreneurship is like at the end of the program will acquire basic knowledge, while those who aim to start their own business will acquire a business model that is the result of their own thinking and practice.
We are looking forward to welcoming those who are interested in entrepreneurship and want to give shape to their challenges during the second half of this fiscal year.
