The Story

UTokyo Innovation Platform Co., Ltd. (UTokyo IPC) has launched the Berkeley SkyDeck x UTokyo IPC Startup Bootcamp, an immersive, in-person startup bootcamp program jointly developed with Berkeley SkyDeck, one of the world’s leading university-based accelerator programs operated by the University of California, Berkeley.

Designed for researchers and aspiring entrepreneurs aiming to build global startups based on academic research and advanced technologies, the program seeks to expand the range of entrepreneurial pathways available across the University of Tokyo and the broader academic community.

This bootcamp represents an original program collaboratively planned and structured by UTokyo IPC and Berkeley SkyDeck. It incorporates the core elements of Berkeley SkyDeck’s entrepreneurship programs developed in the United States and globally, reconfigured to align with the Japanese academic and innovation environment.
