Kyushu University Festival Entrepreneurship Experience Program (QSHOP)
Experience real company management at the Kyushu University Festival!
Summary
The “Kyushu University Festival Entrepreneurship Experience Program (QSHOP)” is a project aimed at developing each student’s “ability to think and act on their own”. The students will have the opportunity to start their own business by setting up a booth at the Kyushu University Festival and selling their products. In addition, with the support of real venture capitalists, certified public accountants, judicial scriveners, and bankers, students will experience a series of entrepreneurial (company formation) processes, including “business plan preparation,” “capital procurement through stock certificates,” “sales activities,” “shareholders’ meetings,” and “profit distribution. Participating companies will be ranked in the final order with the goal of maximizing ROE (return on equity). This program is positioned as one of the Project Based Learning (PBL) programs to have participants experience real company management, and has been conducted since 2011.
Student teams participating in QSHOP must participate in the 0th through 4th project representative briefing sessions (tentative) run by the Kyushu University Festival Executive Committee.
