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
