[Recruiting Participants!] "Startup Base U18 in Hakodate Southern Hokkaido: An Entrepreneurship Experience Program for High School and Technical College Students"

Our university will be hosting the "Startup Base U18 in Hakodate Southern Hokkaido Entrepreneurship Experience Program for High School and Technical College Students" for two days, from August 5th (Wednesday) to August 6th (Thursday).

Are you familiar with the term "startup"? It refers to the initial idea stage when starting something new. In this program, you can experience the "Lean Startup" method, which involves quickly turning an idea into a concrete business plan and prototype, all in just two days.

Why not experience the Startup Base U18 program, specially developed for high school students? You can apply alone or with friends.

Please refer to the flyer for details and feel free to participate!
