"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 Forumis a place where young research personnel such as students and post-doctoral fellows and venture companies can meet under the theme of "Discovering New Opportunities for Researchers". We have prepared a mechanism for both corporate managers and employees and participants to freely discuss "future research themes and issues" and "what we want to contribute to society" in booth sessions. 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.

Researcher's Voice
  • Ventures have become a more realistic option.
  • It gave me a chance to think about my career from a broader perspective, including doctoral studies.
  • We visited companies for discussion at a later date.
Venture's Voice
  • We were able to meet people who can work together to tackle social issues.
  • We gained a long-term intern.
  • We were able to find a joint research partner.

TIME SESSION
13:00 opening ceremony
13:10 Short Seminar "The 'QPMI Cycle' to make your 1min self-introduction powerful".
13:30 1min QP presentation by a venture company
ベンチャー企業による1min QPプレゼン

Participating venture companies will give a one-minute self-introduction. Although company business introductions are open to the public, it is rare to have an opportunity to hear "what kind of challenges they want to take on in the future" and "what kind of friends they want to make in order to do so. This is an important content as an entrance to the booth session that follows next.

14:15 Booth Session 1
ブースセッション1

Participants will hear QP pitches from venture firms and will have a choice of three company booths to attend. The general explanation booth, where you listen to the companies' explanations, will only produce the expected encounters. The booth sessions at the "Add Venture Forum" are emergent sessions where participants "talk about their expertise and interests, and freely come up with ideas for joint research themes and activities on the spot. Through flexible dialogue, you are sure to discover unexpected new career possibilities.

15:00 Booth Session 2
15:45 Booth Session 3
16:30 Ad Venture Pitch/ Social Event
アド・ベンチャー・ピッチ/交流会

It will be set up as a fund for activities to realize ideas generated through free discussions between companies and participating students at booth sessions on "joint research, development, and demonstration experiments that take advantage of each other's strengths," "activities to gather colleagues from different fields," and "what you can contribute to society by utilizing your own knowledge. Those who present "Ad-Venture Pitches" of what they would like to do together with participating companies will receive an Ad-Venture Scholarship (up to 100,000 yen) if selected.
This is a unique opportunity for students to communicate directly with companies and gain experience in "joint research and activities," "holding seminars," and "opportunities for collaboration with industry" on their own. We look forward to your participation.
