Part of the University of Tokyo Entrepreneur Dojo is now available online to university students across Japan.

Nationwide Entrepreneurship Talent Development Program

Any university student in Japan can take part. Registration is free at the site above, and the deadline is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 24.

This program is a project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and I will be in charge of eight sessions over about two months, from December 2 to the end of January.

The course is project-based, delivered through online workshops, with some universities also running parts of it offline.

Guest speakers include Nanba of DeNA, a well-known entrepreneur, and Watanabe of Gryllus at Tokushima University, who has been in the spotlight for his cricket rice crackers.

For the past two years, the University of Tokyo has run large-scale online courses on entrepreneurship. The content will build on the results of those courses. If you are a university student who is interested, please join us.

I hope to contribute in whatever small way I can, so that as many entrepreneurs as possible are born in Japan.

If you would prefer a knowledge-acquisition course rather than a project-based one, please make use of the FoundX Online Startup School (note: this one is open to people who are not university students as well).
