Keio University
On October 1, Keio University (main campus: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Kohei Itoh) launched the Keio Startup Incubation Program (KSIP), a university-wide incubation program aimed at commercializing the university's research seeds. The program targets groups whose founding members are primarily faculty, staff, and students of Keio University.
This program features individually customized, hands-on support for researchers and entrepreneurs and the introduction of a digital platform that allows them to connect. It operates under the vision of "continuously producing startups with the potential to grow into unicorn companies from the university's deep tech seeds and making an impact on the economy and daily life through the global social implementation of research outcomes."
By launching this entrepreneurship program through KSIP, Keio University will further strengthen the social implementation of its research seeds, support the creation and growth of deep tech companies capable of solving global-scale issues, and contribute to society.
