Tokyo's Innovation Frontier: Teikyo University Joins University Startup Creation Initiative

Teikyo University has been selected as one of 10 universities to participate in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "University Startup Creation Support Project." This project is an initiative to commercialize excellent research seeds and ideas, taking advantage of the strengths of Tokyo, a city with a concentration of universities as a base of knowledge.
In November 2022, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government formulated the startup strategy "Global Innovation with STARTUPS" and set forth a "10x10x10 Innovation Vision to Pave the Future" to create startups that are active globally, expand the scope of startups, and expand public-private collaboration in which the government supports innovation. As part of this, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the coordinator Campus Create Co., Ltd. will work together to provide support and financial assistance for various efforts such as commercializing seeds from universities and establishing systems within universities to create university-based startups.

Embracing the mantle of this initiative, Teikyo University sets its sights on cultivating pragmatic and groundbreaking "Practical Learning Start-up Companies" by leveraging cross-disciplinary collaborations bridging medical engineering and the fusion of arts and sciences. With a steadfast commitment to fortify the scaffolding of support from inception to fruition, the university pledges to harness this opportunity to actualize innovative ventures with tangible societal impact. As Teikyo University embarks on this transformative journey, the horizon gleams with the promise of novel solutions and paradigm-shifting enterprises, testament to Tokyo's enduring legacy as an epicenter of ingenuity and progress.
