Dear colleagues,
Greetings from the Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT), Japan.
Despite the pandemic and all the challenges, we hope you and your colleagues are healthy and well.
Please allow us to introduce Kyoto Startup Summer School (KS³ for short), Japan's most international and intensive summer program on entrepreneurship and innovation.
Our early application recently opened for international participants at:
http://www.kyotostartupschool.org/

The program began in 2016 but was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
This year's program will be expanded and fully online which means students won't have to travel to Japan to participate.
KS³ is a modular program with lectures, workshops, panel discussions, mixers, and more.
The modules are taught and facilitated by established entrepreneurs, practitioners, and academics coming from around the world and the goal is to equip students with the ability to create successful startups and innovate.

Since its inception, KS³ has had over 120 participants from 40+ countries join the program, creating an international community of enthusiastic and active students. The feedback from participants have been great, with nearly everyone recommending the program to future applicants. You can read some of the testimonials on our website.

We believe this program would be a great opportunity for students interested in entrepreneurship and/or international experiences. If possible, can you forward this e-mail to those responsible for outbound student mobility and/or any entrepreneurship related activities? We have also created the below invitation text for potentially interested students.

For any further questions, please contact Mr. Thomas Sun
(ks3-organizer@d-lab.kit.ac.jp), international marketing and recruitment lead for KS³ and Professor Sushi Suzuki (sushi@kit.ac.jp), the lead coordinator for the program.
We look forward to your students' applications!
Best regards,
Rie Matsumura
