FY2025 Idea Battle (IB) 2nd Adopters Chosen
A total of 16 ideas were submitted for the 2nd Idea Battle (IB) in 2025, and 9 ideas were selected after a screening session held on Sunday, November 9.
In this program, students’ original ideas are taken as a starting point and given shape through preliminary research and advice from mentors. During the approximately three-month activity period, the selected students will brush up their business plans and build a team for implementation. Finally, they will present their achievements at the results debriefing scheduled for February, and take the first step toward social implementation.
This year, two grant amounts, 100,000 yen and 30,000 yen, have been established according to the nature of the project, and support will be provided according to the characteristics of each idea.
*The difference in grant amount is based on the size and nature of the project and is not an indication of superiority in evaluation.
We hope that through future activities, the adopters will further confront their own ideas and take on the next challenge.
