GTIE Student Entrepreneurship Program (GTIE-SEP) 2024 Call for Participating Students

*This application has been closed.

The Greater Tokyo Innovation Ecosystem (GTIE) is a platform for 19 universities and research institutions 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 2024 (GTIE SEP2024), an entrepreneurship education program for all students at the 14 universities participating in the GTIE Entrepreneurship Education Program, will be implemented again this year as it was last year.

The GTIE-SEP will continue in 2024 with a kick-off in August, open to students from non-GTIE universities. Starting with the kick-off, various training programs will be implemented, including Lean Launchpad Program training (4 sessions), overseas pre-training (business model building, finance), and overseas training (planned for Australia and the US). In addition to the kickoff, we also plan to hold meetups for students interested in entrepreneurship and startups.
Valuable experiences and many encounters await you. We look forward to seeing you there.
