Entrepreneurship Business

Business Overview

Now that the unpredictable VUCA era is becoming “THE NEW NORMAL”, society is required to cultivate “entrepreneurship”, or “entrepreneurship”, which is a practical ability and thinking framework that can view social issues as one’s own business and create new values and visions by combining existing frameworks without fear of failure through collaboration with others. The University Consortium Kyoto aims to develop human resources who will lead society and the development of higher education, local communities, and industry, and the development of human resources with entrepreneurship is exactly in line with this.

The “Entrepreneurship Project” focuses on fostering basic entrepreneurship and contributes to expanding the base of entrepreneurship education in the Kyoto region. In addition, as a “core platform for inter-university collaboration and regional development,” we will promote a variety of inter-business collaborations based on the “Entrepreneurship Project” in order to deepen cooperation between local communities, industry, government, and member schools.
