Entrepreneurship Bootcamp
Summary
“Entrepreneurship Bootcamp” provides an opportunity to learn about the startup founding process, from team formation to establishing the initial business idea, through an intensive 8-day program held in Boston, USA. Participants will gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurship through pre-program training and on-site programs. Participants attend workshops led by leading entrepreneurs, investors, and other professionals from domestic and international companies, and work in teams to create and present their own business plans and prototypes. After the pre-departure training in Fukuoka, the participants will go to Boston, U.S. for a series of 8-day programs to learn world-class entrepreneurship through start-up business practices and presentation of the results.
