ToTAL/OPEN Programs "Idea-Thon - new business idea creation – for coming Lean Launchpad 2023" (AY2022 3Q4Q)

We are happy to announce "Call for Entries" to the subject workshop. Any of Tokyo Tech students, who are belonging to the categories below, are being encouraged to apply the workshop.

This Idea-Thon is 1-day training for creating "business idea" by using Design Thinking methodology. This workshop may be support program for Lean Launchpad program (Master’s/Doctoral Practical Group work for Leadership I / II (S) in 2023 1Q2Q).

"Business" means to provide valuable products and/or services for users and recover their costs as payments. This fundamental concept should be same in "Social Business", NPO/NGO activities and usual enterprise activities. Having payments and making profits should be essential for sustain such "business". You cannot expect sustainability of the "business" if your voluntary bear its cost. Furthermore, would the value you believe when you provide it with users match the expectations of users? Without such matching, business cannot be materialized. In Lean Launchpad, you will establish hypothesis and check such hypothesis in the program. In this Idea-Thon, you will try to generate business idea to be predicated on such "business". If you are considering to join "Lean Launchpad" in 2023 1Q2Q and/or want to have a hint for new business, please join this Idea-Thon workshop.
