Nara Institute of Science and Technology（NAIST）operates crossXcross (cross-by-cross: the entrepreneur cultivation program by multi-directional crossover PBL)  program as a part of "EDGE-next" funded by Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. crossXcross (Cross by Cross) aims to develop those who can keep pursuing difficult challenges by involving and collaborating with other people with different skills and personalities for realizing innovations.
 
In the 3rd round of crossXcross workshop, we will devise business ideas that will lead to innovations from Asian countries by addressing global social issues represented by SDGs together with local Thai people in cooperation with Kasetsart University. People who produce excellent ideas will be selected as a challenger for a business pitch contest at the final workshop scheduled to be held in Bangkok.

No specific experiences and skills are required!

  • Remote collaboration by interconnecting with the Internet.
  • The staff of NAIST will provide the information on the social issues.

奈良先端科学技術大学院大学（NAIST）では、九州大学、立命館大学、大阪府立大学との連携（「多様性と創造的協働に基づくアントレプレナー育成プログラム （IDEA: Innovation x Diversity x Entrepreneurship Education Alliance）」コンソーシアム）して、文部科学省・次世代アントレプレナー育成促進事業（EDGE-next）に応募し、採択されました。

IDEAでは複数校での連携プログラムの他に各参加校独自企画のプログラムも実施されます。本学では独自企画としてcrossXcross(クロス・バイ・クロス)（多面的クロスオーバーPBL型のアントレプレナー育成プログラム）を実施します。CrossXcrossでは、イノベーションを実現するために必要な「技能や個性の異なる他者を巻き込み／協働することで、くじけずに困難に向かって突き進む」力を身につけた人材の育成を目指しており、ATRや大阪イノベーションハブと協力して、バックグラウンドの異なる人間がチームで課題解決やビジネス創出に取り組むことの難しさ・楽しさを体験し、そこから化学反応・相乗効果につなげるための力の鍛錬に取り組みます。

本事業は、多様性と創造的協働に基づくアントレプレナー育成プログラム （IDEA: Innovation x Diversity x Entrepreneurship Education Alliance）の一部として奈良先端科学技術大学院大学が実施します。ＩＤＥＡコンソーシアム（九州大学×立命館大学×奈良先端科学技術大学院大学×大阪府立大学）全体の情報はIDEAのHP（九州大学のサイト）をご覧ください
