Event Outline


We organize a workshop to discuss how we can create and harvest knowledge for realizing robust and resilient environments for living. We basically follow Innovators Marketplace, a process composed of Innovators Market Game and its pre- and post-processes, where creative crossover of ideas will eventually seed academia and industries with practical solutions for essential problems. Students will discuss with attendants of other classes as well as with business people here, and via this hard process, self-acquire skills for thinking and communicating toward innovation.

Here, participants will learn to create active triggers that motivate themselves in real workplaces on sciences and businesses, via the process of steps
(1) think and talk
(2) write and draw
(3) connect and structure
(4) present and act
with intentionally setting the wide topic of realization of robust and resilient environment for living. Proposals to be obtained here will be, in other words, the results of analysis and synthesis of knowledge and data from multiple domains, via the process to externalize and integrate intelligences born and bred in domains and cultures. Join us in the discussion about how to foster innovation and harvest knowledge in the global market, and reinforce your gift - creativity.
