The “STARTUP LEAGUE” is a startup support initiative that began in FY2023, based on the belief that providing a place for competition and co-creation in the course of providing support and continuing the program over the long term, rather than as a one-off support program, will help startups to grow.
We believe that in order to compete successfully in business, it is important to have a professional mindset like an athlete, and just as children aspire to be athletes, our vision is to create a future where the people who will lead the future aim to become "start-up business players. We also believe that it is important to have a professional mindset like an athlete in order to compete and survive in the business world.
