Deep Tech Kyoto - Reverse Pitch by University Faculty from ECC-iCAP - "Future Society Pioneered by Agri/Biotech" in Kyoto

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.

Such research seeds? Reverse Pitch Event by Kyoto University Faculty

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

The keyword for this year's event is "Agri/Biotech",Kyoto University is proud of its five front-runners in sciencewill 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!
