The Hokkaido University Institute for the Promotion of Business-Regional Collaboration and the Hokkaido Future Creation Startup Development Mutual Support Network (HSFC) will host an entrepreneurship education program for high school, technical college, university, and graduate students in Hokkaido, as a participating base for the National Entrepreneurship Human Resource Development Program sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

In this program, you will experience the process of generating new ideas through dialogue and collaboration with peers, starting from existing businesses, and then putting those ideas into action.

Over the two days, participants will not only brainstorm ideas, but also engage in customer interviews to identify challenges and needs, create demos and prototypes to bring ideas to life, conduct sales presentations to communicate value to potential clients, and pitch their results. Through this hands-on experience of "thinking, testing, and reflecting," participants will refine their ideas.
