GTIE SEP2024 Meetup #2 (2/15)
The theme of this year’s event is Transition Design and University Startups Tackling Social Issues.
Transition Design is not just a future prediction, but a design approach to social issues and systemic change. It involves a deep understanding of current issues and structures, envisioning a desirable future, and designing actions to realize that future. Utilizing backcasting type thinking, we will envision a “sustainable and ideal future” that cannot be imagined as an extension of the status quo, and develop concrete paths to achieve it.
In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of transition design and create their own “action plan to shape the future. This is an opportunity to gain new perspectives and concretize your future career and vision.
The second half of the workshop will be an exchange of opinions with startup managers. Hear directly from entrepreneurs who are tackling the big social issue of “food” how startup managers are trying to change society, and then ask them questions. If you are interested in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship, this is the place to find valuable inspiration.
If you are interested in entrepreneurship, starting a business, or social change, please join us! Many encounters and learnings await you!
