MISSION
We connect startups, research institutes, and companies to create new businesses, or Frontier.
Any academic achievement or technical idea is already of great value in itself. However, in order to truly change the world, it is necessary to implement the results and ideas of science and technology in the real world. Leave a Nest supports the social implementation of science and technology through Frontier Development Project.
Commercialization is a concrete and effective way to implement science and technology in society. But it's never easy. In particular, in real-tech startups which focuses on R&D and manufacturing, product development costs a great deal in terms of people, time, funds, and network formation.
That's why Leave a Nest is running TECH PLANTER, a real tech startup acceleration program. We engage a wide variety of people in the social implementation of science and technology, including university officials, research institutes, early-stage startups, small factories to support prototyping, financial investors, and large corporations seeking partnerships with innovators.
The term Frontier in the Frontier Development Project means “Academic researchers and early-stage startups use their technologies to open up new worlds”. In that sense, it is also Frontier that large companies launch new businesses to overcome the dilemma of innovation. The Frontier Development Project welcomes the participation of people who are passionate about creating new businesses and changing the world.
