Continuing from October 2021, Gaiax Co., Ltd., a startup support startup studio, will publish the second “National Entrepreneurship Club Map” that summarizes the entrepreneurial clubs, entrepreneurial circles, and entrepreneurial communities of universities (including technical colleges and high schools) nationwide. Published on August 10, 2.Furthermore, we have compiled a list of organization names and activities so that high school and university students who are interested in starting a business can experience starting a business.
Gaiax will release Japan's first "National Entrepreneurship Department Map" in 2021 for high school students, technical college students, or university students who are considering starting a student business.We have compiled a list of educational institutions where students can gain entrepreneurial experience in the form of club activities, circle activities, and communities while learning their specialty through academic studies.
The second survey period for the “National Entrepreneurship Department Map” is from October 2 to August 2021.We conducted an Internet survey (including interviews) targeting formal and informal university entrepreneurial clubs or circles, as well as other business contest management organizations.There are 10 universities in Japan that have entrepreneurship clubs and circles.By region, 2022 universities in the Hokkaido area, 8 universities in the Tohoku area, 43 universities in the Kanto area, 2 universities in the Chubu area, 2 universities in the Kinki area, 13 universities in the Chugoku/Shikoku area, 5 universities in the Kyushu/Okinawa area, and 12 universities in the unspecified area. was a group.
Since the survey began in 2018, the number of entrepreneurship departments has more than doubled, but when compared to 2, the number of university entrepreneurship departments has decreased by 2021%. There are 14 Entrepreneurship Departments newly established in 2022 (January to August), but on the other hand, 1 organizations have been closed or suspended.
According to the survey, the reasons for establishing a new entrepreneurship department were, "I felt that there was a problem that there was no environment where students who wanted to start a business could receive sufficient support, and I wanted to solve it on my own." I felt the need for a community where I can grow with my colleagues,” and “I want to broaden my horizons by learning the essential know-how of starting a business and cultivating a mindset for starting a business.” .
On the other hand, there are also issues such as ``high management costs for some members, such as executive members holding study sessions,'' and ``there is no representative candidate (for the next one),'' making it difficult to continue the entrepreneurship department. can be heard.In addition, the Entrepreneurship Department newly established in 2022 (January to August) was Chiba University, Nagoya University, Kinki University, Kobe University, Kwansei Gakuin University, and Okayama University, all of which were based outside of Tokyo.The difference between Tokyo and other regions in terms of whether or not they have experience in establishing a company is twice that of Tokyo, but we can see that the establishment of an entrepreneurial environment is spreading nationwide, with universities and students taking the lead.
The "National Entrepreneurship Department Map" was independently researched and created by Gaiax to visualize the entrepreneurial environment, and does not guarantee completeness or accuracy.
