Venue: Hokkaido University School of Public Policy

The region now is suffering from the sense of stoppage such as employment options, the shrinking economic cycle, the declining birthrate and the aging population, the tightening of administrative and financial affairs. Furthermore, there is a present situation that is bound by old tradition and distortion and it is difficult to set new challenging attempts. In order to solve complex social issues and create new markets and industries in the region, it is urgent to train human resources who can practice value creation with innovative ideas. At Hokkaido University Graduate School of Public Policy, we will conduct innovation management courses in collaboration with the Japan Economic Research Institute and NoMaps.
In this course, we aimed to acquire logical and systematic "methodology to create innovative projects" rather than "flash" and "idea", and to bridge the challenge and practice through intensive competition in group work is.
We are waiting for applicants who are aiming to be a project leader in regional creation and innovation, in addition to those who are in charge of planning new business in the enterprise, social workers aiming for skill improvement.
Please note that this course is mainly for group work, so please participate in all times in principle.
