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
