About Kyoto Startup Summer School
Kyoto Startup Summer School (KS3 for short) is Japan’s most international and intensive summer program on entrepreneurship and innovation.
KS3 is a two-week program with a variety of modules (workshops, lectures, mixers, panel discussions, company visits, etc.) taught and facilitated by established entrepreneurs, practitioners, venture capitalists, and academics coming from around the world. This is your opportunity to learn hands-on entrepreneurial skills and experience startup life.
KS3 is based in the historical city of Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan with over 2000 temples and shrines. In addition to being the center of tourism in Japan, Kyoto is an important hub for the information technology and
electronics industry. This is the city where alongside traditional craft workshops, one can find world class companies and startups.
In the last two years, 61 participants from 25+ countries joined KS3
making it the most international program to date.
