The National Kagawa College of Technology (Kagawa Kosen) is committed to its mission of “fostering practical engineers with rich humanity and abundant creativity” and “contributing to society as a hub of knowledge in the region.” The college provides high-quality education by extensively incorporating early technical education and hands-on laboratory training.
In addition, the school boasts the most championships in the National Technical College Robot Contest and has received an Excellence Award in the National Technical College Programming Contest. As the number of students at technical colleges taking on the challenge of starting their own businesses has increased in recent years, the speaker will discuss initiatives aimed at fostering engineers and entrepreneurs with a focus on AI. We hope you will join us.
