Youth Enterprise Trade Fair 2024

Since its inception in 2001, this initiative has aimed to cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit and skills of young individuals, empowering them to build a better society in an era of rapid globalization and digital transformation. This year, the 24th annual Trade Fair will once again take place at Kyoto University on Sunday, December 1.

The Trade Fair brings together students from elementary schools to universities who have been involved in entrepreneurial activities through their school programs or extracurricular projects throughout the year. Participants will gather in Kyoto to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. On the day of the event, they will showcase their projects at interactive exhibition booths, sell their unique products to attendees, and deliver engaging stage presentations to highlight their achievements. In addition to receiving feedback, participants will also serve as judges, casting votes to recognize outstanding initiatives.

A special highlight of the event is a collaborative workshop where students from different schools join forces to develop new products. This hands-on experience offers a chance to explore the excitement of creating innovative value together.

Don’t miss the opportunity to discover and support the bold and inspiring endeavors of these young innovators! Exclusive, one-of-a-kind products will also be available for purchase, making this event a must-visit for anyone who believes in the power of youth and creativity.
