Ad Venture Forum Tokyo Winter 2025
Center of Garage (COG)"Working at a Venture Company"A New Research Career Option
Many young researchers at universities have a passion for "contributing to society through research". Research and development ventures that aim to "develop products that do not exist and implement products in the world to solve social issues" are the perfect place to demonstrate their abilities.
Add Venture Forum is a place where young researchers such as students and post-doctoral fellows and venture companies can meet under the theme of "Discovering New Opportunities for Researchers". We have prepared booth sessions where company managers and employees and participants can freely discuss "future research themes and issues" and "what we want to contribute to society". Come and discover new ways to make the most of your research, new ways of working, and new ways of living that are not bound by stereotypes.
