▌Beyond the Comfort Zone: Japanese and Taiwanese Youth Connect over Innovation at NTU
National Taiwan University recently welcomed a delegation of faculty and students from Japan’s innovative startup platforms, Ezofrogs and Ryukyufrogs. Hosted by OIA in collaboration with Startup Island TAIWAN (SIT)—the national startup brand under the National Development Council—the event featured campus tours, interactive activities, and a dynamic Pitch Day.
During the opening remarks, Mr. Tsutomu Tsuchiya, Vice Executive Director of Hokkaido University, and Mr. Ryosuke Ominato, President of Ezofrogs, both highlighted the importance of strengthening startup ties between Taiwan and Japan. They encouraged the next generation of young entrepreneurs to boldly address local challenges, turn innovative ideas into positive societal impact, and bring their vision to the global stage.
At the Pitch Day, student representatives from Hokkaido, Okinawa, and NTU took turns taking the stage. Each pitch seamlessly blended cross-cultural creativity with practical local application, demonstrating the incredible innovative energy and ex*****on capacity of students from both regions.
Originating in Hokkaido and Okinawa respectively, Ezofrogs and Ryukyufrogs draw their names from the metaphor of the "frog in the well." Their core mission is to empower local students to step outside their comfort zones. By coming to Taiwan, these programs aim to guide ambitious young talent through practical training—helping them break out of conventional thinking, leverage technology and business strategy to solve community issues, and ultimately grow into innovative leaders with a global perspective.
