Regional development and entrepreneurship education support

Background
Solving income disparity in the region and reducing poverty in the rural areas are common issues in countries such as ASEAN and regional development projects are strongly desired. Also, there are many requests asking to take local promotion projects in Japan for consideration such as one village one product in Oita prefecture.

Current activities
With this background, Asia Seed aims at activating the regional economy by connecting universities as an intellect center for the region and local SMEs or traditional industries. We support sustainable entrepreneur development and hold seminars to extend their knowledge.
