Deep Tech Kyoto - Reverse Pitch by University Faculty for Management Recruitment from ECC-iCAP - "Future Society Pioneered by Robotics" in Tokyo

This project was selected by NEDO as part of its "FY2023 Project to Support the Recruitment of Management Professionals for University Startups (MPM)," with the aim of identifying management professionals who are interested in starting their own businesses or participating in startup management, and matching them with technology seeds from universities and other organizations and university startups. The purpose of this program is to discover management talents who wish to start their own businesses or participate in start-up management.

I didn't know such research seeds existed! Reverse Pitch Event by Kyoto University and other faculty members

This event invites professors from academia, mainly from Kyoto University, to reverse pitch their research seeds for social implementation.

This time, the keyword is "Robotics",Five scientific front-runnerswill take the stage to offer a chance to turn cutting-edge research that will change the future into a business (social implementation). There will also be time for discussion with the speakers,We look forward to welcoming those interested in university start-up entrepreneurship!
