Consortium

The Data Entrepreneur Consortium (hereinafter referred to as “the Consortium”) is formed by a diverse group of multidisciplinary organizations that agree with the objectives and support the projects of the Data Entrepreneur Fellows Program. Through each organization’s network, the Consortium is committed to exploring, developing, and promoting human resources and their activities by leveraging the synergies. In the future, we will collaborate with various institutions and centers to facilitate the development of human resources, which in the end, could use data to create value and contribute to the establishment of an ecosystem for career development. We will organize a human resource development network in cooperation with industries and research institutions, focusing on AI (artificial intelligence), IoT, Big data, and cybersecurity. We will engage in disseminating and promoting practical education through a curriculum and e-learning system developed as part of the industry-academia-government collaboration, internships and joint research, and a certification. Also, we are searching for ways to collaborate with overseas human resource development. This program aims to create a data-driven society through training of advanced data-related knowledge, skills, and career development support for students and working people across the country.
