For this project, I offer a case study of an entrepreneurship education program through industry-academic collaboration at a Japanese university. This program was launched in April 2018 in collaboration with a large, world-renowned company to provide students with opportunities to solve themes (problems) through design thinking. We will describe the processes involved in creating student ventures developed through this class, as well as the difficulties and challenges associated with these student ventures.
