Background and objectives of activities
As part of the Center's “Open Demonstration Project”, we will work in collaboration with the “Innovenchu Creation Project” hosted by the Yoro Innovenchu Creation Executive Committee (Yoro Town) to develop human resources who can utilize university research seeds in the local area through support for the award winners of the “Innovenchu AWARD” and technical cooperation.
Summary of Activities
In order to solve regional issues using research seeds, it is necessary to create users of these seeds in the region. Since 2021, Yoron Town has been running the “Innovenchu” project, a practical course for creating the future of the island and its residents, where participants learn about business planning and research methods that can be used to solve regional issues and create new value. Since 2022, this center has been working in collaboration with this project to conduct a demonstration project to cultivate human resources who can make use of university seeds in the region through support for award winners and technical cooperation. In 2012, we supported the project “Introduction of IT and IoT-based Agriculture” as mentors, and received technical advice from Professor Shimizu of the Faculty of Agriculture.
Expected Benefits
Fostering human resources and businesses that can solve regional issues on their own.
