Contribute to the next generation of innovators as entrepreneurs

The "Kobe Innovation Dojo'' program, organized by "Innovation Dojo Japan," is an initiative aimed at supporting startups, entrepreneurs, businesses, and university administrations to foster innovation. It emphasizes the entrepreneurial spirit and creates an environment for collaboration with the next generation of innovators. The program provides assistance to startups both domestically and internationally while also focusing on how to nurture entrepreneurs within educational institutions and universities. Additionally, it aims to support the development of Japan's university education system and contribute to the cultivation of globally competitive talents.

This program took place over two months from May to July 2023.

During those two months, from July 4th to July 7th, a four-day "Company Workshop" was held, where Dreamly's CEO, Larsson, wholeheartedly shared his experiences as a foreign entrepreneur in Japan, the lessons he learned from failures, his core values, and the fundamental principles of business models. These four days of passionate discussions and collaboration with the aspiring entrepreneurs of the next generation became a special time filled with valuable knowledge and inspiration about entrepreneurship.

And on July 13th, the "Final Presentation" took place.

Each team presented a business model based on innovative inspiration and ideas to launch their own companies, reflecting their two months of learning. The presentations showcased the culmination of their efforts and undoubtedly provided valuable experiences in building a foundation as entrepreneurs.

In addition to essential mindsets such as "always being humble," "maintaining pride without hindering growth and possibilities," and "remembering that organizations are not built by individuals alone," participants have also embraced crucial business spirits from Larsson's experiences, including "continuously embracing challenges," "taking care of their mind, spirit, and body," and "treating the first action as equally important as the last."

?Having ingrained these significant business spirits from Larsson's perspective will undoubtedly provide them with a significant advantage.
