Business Plan Contest Published in Chunichi Newspaper

Our first Business Plan Contest was recently featured in the Chunichi Shimbun (Newspaper), a daily broadsheet with a circulation of over 2,700,000 copies for their morning edition.

Mr. Kazuro Mizuno (Chairman of Seto Shinkin Bank), Mr. Hiroki Kondo (Mayor of Nisshin City), Mr. Takashi Okutani (Chief Omnichannel Officer of Oisix-La-Daichi) and Professor Yasutomi Kitahara (Dean of NUCB Business School) formed the panel, bringing in experience from various backgrounds.

The students' unique plans were presented, and after rigorous screening, the top four teams were awarded within their category. The judges gave valuable comments such as advice on individual plans and ideas for starting a business, and it was a fruitful contest not only for the participants but also for the attending students.

We hope that the students who participated this time will have a pioneering spirit and play an active role in society.
