SoLabo Co., Ltd. will hold the “Minato Future Summit” on October 10, 2022, an exchange event for students and managers. With the support of ATOMica Co., Ltd., this event was planned by four university students from Yokohama from a student perspective. In addition to learning about business through entrepreneurial episodes and failure stories, students can also learn about business through matching times between students and managers and exchanges between students. , we will provide a program that allows students to acquire “connections” that they can use in the future.
◆ Background
The rate of entrepreneurship in Japan was around 5% from 2001 to 2017, remaining at a low level compared to Western countries, and the rate of entrepreneurship among young people, including students, is particularly low. (Data: Survey by Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Annual Report on Employment Insurance Business)
In the midst of such issues, four university students from Yokohama, who are the same students, held this matching event “Minato Future Summit” was planned.
I would like to support students so that they can fly to the future with hope in Minato Mirai, a livable city that has both a business base and a living base.
◆ Purpose and characteristics of the event
The purpose of this event is to increase the number of students interested in “entrepreneurship” in Minato Mirai, Yokohama.
In order to stimulate the students’ interests and curiosity, the program was designed to encourage active two-way communication rather than one-way communication between the management and the students during the event.
Another feature of this event is the ability to create “connections” between students through the event.
As the number of students connected with each other has decreased due to the corona crisis, there are many students who are worried about job hunting and their future lives. Four planning students also experienced the same thoughts while spending the corona misfortune. That’s why, for this event, we thought of a program that would allow students to find friends they would like to work with and build continuous connections in the future.
