About the Management Talent Acquisition Support Program (MPM) for University-Based Startups<\/h1>\n

Universities and research institutions are home to numerous research findings with the potential to bring about significant societal change. However, in order to translate these findings into practical applications in society, researchers need to connect not only with one another but also with business leaders who can help bring these ideas to life.<\/p>\n
At Ribane, rather than following the traditional division of roles\u2014where researchers provide the technology and business professionals handle commercialization\u2014we are conducting a pilot program for a new university-based startup creation model. In this model, researchers and business professionals engage in discussions as equals from the earliest stages, jointly defining social challenges, markets, and business hypotheses while forming a founding team.<\/p>\n
At this event, we will also introduce our philosophy and initiatives.<\/p>\n
