The 2026 Tsukuba Creative Camp Advanced (TCCA), offered as a Free Education for Undergraduate Studies course and a General Education for Graduate Studies course, will begin on Wednesday, October 7, 2026!
Participants will use the Fit Journey process to validate and refine their own business ideas through a cutting-edge venture development methodology curriculum.
Participants will receive one-on-one mentoring from a distinguished group of mentors, primarily entrepreneurs who graduated from the University of Tsukuba, including Akira Morikawa, who led LINE’s growth into a global social networking platform and is currently developing C CHANNEL into a global video fashion magazine. Through this guidance, participants will be able to create highly practical and realistic startup business plans.
International students are also highly encouraged to participate, with English-language support available throughout the program.
