Enhancing Development of Global Entrepreneur Program (EDGE Program)
Hiroshima University launched the Hiroshima Entrepreneurship Program in AY2014, which was selected for the EDGE Program run by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. To
revitalize the creation of innovations on a national and local community level, we seek to promote the start-up of venture businesses based on research results, develop innovative talents equipped with the ability to promote the creation of new businesses by existing enterprises, and develop an innovation ecosystem that enables such innovators to fulfill their potential.
This one-year program, designed for students, young researchers and working people both from the humanities and science, consists of a general course and a seeds course. At the end of the program, a Phoenix Entrepreneur Competition is held, and the winners are provided with the opportunity to be hired as a “Phoenix Entrepreneur” for one year and to receive continuous support.
Higashi-Hiroshima Startup School
The Higashi-Hiroshima Startup School is held every year under the sponsorship of Higashi-Hiroshima City, the Higashi-Hiroshima Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Hiroshima University Center for Collaborative Research and Community Cooperation.
