KYOTO Innovation Studio Session Vol.8
“KYOTO Innovation Studio Session Vol.8” sponsored by Kyoto City was held as an event to commemorate the opening of “GROWTH Kyoto Kawaramachi”. KYOTO Innovation Studio is a talk session moderated by Professor Akio Iriyama of Waseda University Business School, who talks about the possibilities of innovation that are “unique to Kyoto” and “only possible in Kyoto.” This time, the themes are “‘After planting, trust and wait!?’ Human capital management learned from fermentation” and “Which is more difficult, temple management or startup management? Value that lasts for 1000 years or value created in 1000 days” We had top runners in the business world, up-and-coming startup managers, and stalwarts of traditional organizations take the stage.
