Keio University School of Medicine
This fiscal year, the Keio University School of Medicine established the "Keio University School of Medicine Keio Healthcare Venture Contest," a business competition, as part of its efforts to support the creation of start-ups originating from the School of Medicine. By the deadline on Sunday, February 5, we received over 50 excellent business plan submissions. Among them, the top 10 teams will give presentations at the final round to be held on Sunday, March 26.
We anticipate the unveiling of new ideas, not only for business plans based on basic and clinical research, but also on how the fusion of technologies from other fields—such as artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and telemedicine—will solve healthcare issues. We invite the press to cover this event. Please note that advance registration is required for press coverage.
