Why TSM?
Why I want to join TSM
As someone with a deep passion for start-up companies and the innovative spirit they embody, I am extremely interested in joining the technopreneurship study mission. The opportunity to learn about successful start-ups and their founders would be invaluable in shaping my own aspirations as an entrepreneur. Tokyo, Japan is a particularly exciting destination for this mission, as it is a hub of cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking start-ups. Some examples of start-up companies from Tokyo that I am eager to learn about include Mercari, a mobile marketplace app, and Preferred Networks, an AI company pioneering in the field of autonomous driving. I am excited about the potential to expand my knowledge, connect with like-minded individuals, and gain hands-on experience in the world of technopreneurship.
Where I would like to visit
💻 Shibuya, home to many of Tokyo's most innovative and successful start-ups
🍣 Tsukiji Fish Market, known for its fresh and flavorful seafood (my favourite!💕)
❄️ Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, which is especially breathtaking when covered in snow during the winter months
Starting a business
What types of businesses interests me
🌱 Companies that prioritize sustainability and take a holistic approach to environmental stewardship, such as Patagonia and The Body Shop
❤️ Companies that are making a social impact by addressing issues such as education, healthcare, and human rights. For instance, Benetech
What plans I have in starting a business
Although I have not yet started my own business, I am eager to explore opportunities in the field of IoT, particularly as it relates to addressing climate change. I believe that IoT has the potential to enable more sustainable practices across a range of industries, from energy and transportation to agriculture and manufacturing. In terms of my own business plans, I am interested in exploring ways to leverage IoT technologies to improve resource efficiency and reduce waste, as well as to enable new business models that support more circular and sustainable systems.
