In collaboration with INSEAD, NUCB Business School has been contributing to the planning of the INSEAD Innovation Program due for implementation from the start of November with an aim to develop the human resources necessary to start up new business.
This program, devised by Aichi Prefecture as part of the Aichi-Startup Strategy, has been implemented as part of the pioneering efforts of Aichi Prefecture in cooperation with overseas universities and graduate schools to support the development of new businesses in the region.
Along with utilizing our network to support the recruitment of participants, NUCB Business School professors are also mentoring participants engaged in the creation of new businesses through training courses. The final results will be reported at a briefing in March to be held at our Marunouchi Tower Campus in Nagoya.
Innovation Program
The Aichi Startup strategy was initiated in October 2018 with an objective to form and enrich a start-up ecosystem as a fertile ground for start-up enterprises, maintaining Aichi Prefecture’s reputation as an industrial and manufacturing center and position the region as a leader in Japan and the world.
