On August 4, Fukuoka Prefectural Government hosted the “Fukuoka Innovation Study Tour” for students from Singapore Management University (SMU) participating in the SMU-X project!

The program was designed to introduce Fukuoka’s business landscape and potential to the next generation of global leaders, offering them firsthand exposure to the forefront of innovation within the prefecture.

The tour featured presentations and Q&A sessions that provided students with a deeper understanding of the local business environment. We would like to express our gratitude to the following organizations for their participation and cooperation:

・State Street Trust and Banking Co., Ltd.
・Origgin Ventures
・Saisei Ventures
・Fukuoka Bio Community
・Fukuoka Prefectural Government

Through direct interaction with companies that are deeply rooted in Fukuoka while maintaining a global reach, the students gained valuable perspectives, leading to a heightened interest in our region.

We will continue to prioritize the attraction of international financial institutions and remains dedicated to fostering an ecosystem that encourages continuous innovation.
