Completed GTIE SEP2024 Lean Launchpad Training.
The Greater Tokyo Innovation Ecosystem (GTIE) is a platform for universities and research institutions in the Tokyo metropolitan area that aims to nurture entrepreneurial talent and develop university-based startups that will change the world.
GTIE SEP2024, a student program conducted by GTIE, conducted The Lean Launchpad training (LLP training) in 2024, and seven participating teams completed a total of four training sessions over four months starting in September 2024. During the training period, each team studied their own business model based on social issues with their mentors based on The Lean Launchpad, an entrepreneurship education program that provides practical training on how to commercialize product ideas using new business development methods such as the business model canvas and customer development model, and how to commercialize technologies that are the result of research at universities and research institutions. The participants examined their own business models based on social issues with their mentors.
The fourth and final round of the program was held on Saturday, January 11, and the grand prize winner was selected. The top prize-winning teams were “DX,” a business efficiency improvement project for in-home care support care managers, and “Words Samurai” (tied for first place).
