Implementation Details Explanation

Announcement of the BUSINESS IDEA CAMPUS Results Presentation Session.

The Tokyo Consortium is undertaking initiatives to strengthen university-centered ecosystem hubs.

Following last year's event, we held the "BUSINESS IDEA CAMPUS" learning program, where students and working professionals jointly discuss and practically tackle business challenges and social issues faced by companies.

This year's program is a participatory initiative focused on social challenges facing the Tokyo metropolitan area. Participating students and Tokyo Consortium members will jointly generate ideas to address these challenges and translate them into action.

We are pleased to announce the "Results Presentation" showcasing the achievements of this program.
This event is open to all interested parties, including professionals interested in the ideas and collaborations of the next generation of students, those interested in solving the social issues in Shibuya that were the focus of this program, and those interested in entrepreneurship education or trends in young people's values.

This is the starting line before putting ideas into practice. Working professionals and students who wish to participate in bringing ideas to life alongside university students are encouraged to stop by.

Theme 1: Shibuya's Garbage Problem
