The 3rd Meiji Business Challenge
Meiji University established the Meiji University Entrepreneurship and Startup Support Office in April 2025 to provide entrepreneurship education and support for students’ entrepreneurship. This office is responsible for consolidating human and educational resources related to startups at Meiji University, such as coordinating university-wide introductory courses on start-ups, supporting student entrepreneurial activities, and responding to various inquiries.
The School of Business Administration has taken over the operation of the Meiji Business Challenge, a business idea contest that has been held since 2022, which will be held again this year!
