Vision
Innovating from within
Cambodia
Promoting development through innovation from within, rather than external aid.
We aim to provide opportunities to make this a reality.
To foster innovation, diverse talent and a platform for discussion are necessary.
An Ideathon is well-suited for this purpose.

Support
Reliable Support System
We provided support to facilitate teamwork by offering lectures on ideation methods and mentoring for group work. To promote effective idea generation on the day of the ideathon, we plan to create video content for preliminary learning.
Practice
Putting learning into practice
Over 2 days, teams work for a total of about 10 hours to thoroughly consider solutions. Many teams utilized the thinking methods introduced in the lectures to challenge themselves to generate better ideas in a limited time. Teams that passed the first round of judging gave presentations on the second day.

They gave us the opportunity to showcase our abilities and provided a place to learn how to build teamwork. Moreover, it was very meaningful to meet peers from other universities and, above all, to have the chance to interact with mentors and judges with rich experience and knowledge.

For kids
Organizing a Kids Ideaathon
2023, Kids Ideathon in cambodia was held on short notice at the idea of Mr. Takei, President of Mars Flag Inc.Due to its popularity, this year's event has been expanded in scale and content compared to last year's.
In addition to experiencing the ideas of Japanese executives who do business in English and Chinese on a daily basis, the program is designed to help participants acquire the ability to come up with ideas on their own.
