The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and IDB Lab, an innovation lab of the Inter-American Development Bank Group, are co-sponsoring the Open Innovation Program “TSUBASA,” which will be held for the third time this fiscal year. The Open Innovation Challenge TSUBASA2023 will be held from mid-October to mid-December 2023.
In TSUBASA2023, there will be two courses, Government Course and Business Course, depending on the business models proposed by companies. The Government Course will provide support mainly from JICA to companies that develop B to G business models after completing the TSUBASA program.
JICA’s overseas offices and related departments in Japan will hold the “Government Course Problem Introduction Seminar,” where JICA’s overseas offices and related departments in Japan will explain the issues in specific countries and fields in the Latin America region that are being recruited for the Government Course and the expected collaboration with companies, etc.
