Summary<\/h2>\n\n

The Idea Challenge (I.C.) is a program launched in fiscal year 2014 that helps students transform their original, rough-around-the-edges ideas into more realistic project proposals by conducting preliminary research on potential market needs, competing technologies, and intellectual property rights, as well as by receiving advice from mentors.<\/p>\n\n

For ideas selected for this program, we will conduct research and due diligence over approximately two months to refine them into high-quality business plans and assemble teams to execute those plans. Ultimately, participants will present their business plans at a final results presentation; by sharing these plans with the assembled team members, we aim to provide an opportunity to further refine the ideas and prepare for the next phase.<\/p>\n\n

Within the QREC program, this serves as a preliminary step before applying to various events such as Change & Creation (C&C) and external business plan competitions.<\/p>\n\n

*This program was previously known as the \u201cIdea Battle (IB)\u201d until 2025, but its name was changed to \u201cIdea Challenge\u201d (abbreviated as I.C) starting in fiscal year 2026.<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n
