EMC GLOBAL Launches First-Year Membership Fee Waiver Campaign for University and Student Group Partner Programs Until End of July

EMC GLOBAL (Location: Musashino-shi, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tatsuya Tsubuki) is launching a special campaign for its 'Partner Program,' which facilitates collaborations with universities and student groups domestically and internationally. The campaign offers a waiver of the first-year annual membership fee for Core Partners (normally 200,000 JPY) until Friday, July 31, 2026.

This campaign aims to encourage more educational institutions and student groups to utilize EMC GLOBAL's programs, thereby expanding opportunities for students to engage in global challenges and entrepreneurship education.

Fostering Global Entrepreneurs from 'United ASIA'

With a vision to 'nurture talent with global entrepreneurship from United ASIA,' EMC GLOBAL operates a platform where students from Japan and Asia can connect, learn, and challenge themselves across national borders.

Between fiscal year 2024 and 2025, the organization realized collaborations with six top overseas universities across five Asian countries:

[Collaboration Track Record]

- India: IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay - Singapore: National University of Singapore (NUS) - Philippines: University of the Philippines Diliman - Thailand: Chiang Mai University - Indonesia: Universitas Multimedia Nusantara

Furthermore, the organization has been selected for priority fields in 'TOKYO SUTEAM,' a startup support project by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and is advancing the construction of a next-generation entrepreneur development network connecting Japan and Asia.

Three Values Offered to Students

EMC GLOBAL provides opportunities to learn through practice, rather than just international exchange or lectures.

1. Entrepreneurship Students learn through practice, from problem discovery to hypothesis building, customer validation, and pitching. By working in multinational teams, they cultivate leadership skills within diverse values.

2. Global Network Students can connect with peers and young entrepreneurs from various Asian countries, building an international human network that leads to future business co-creation and career formation.

3. AI x Prototyping Students practice from idea generation to prototype development in a short period while utilizing generative AI, acquiring the business creation skills required in the AI era.

Addressing Challenges in Educational Settings

While interest in entrepreneurship and global education has been rising in many universities, challenges such as difficulties in building connections with overseas universities, a lack of specialized international entrepreneurship programs, difficulties in forming diverse communities, and securing mentoring talent persist. EMC GLOBAL's partner program solves these issues by providing an international and practical learning environment.

Two 'Partner Programs' to Choose From

EMC GLOBAL offers two types of partner programs, 'Affiliate Partner' and 'Core Partner,' for universities, research labs, student groups, centers, and international exchange organizations. Both plans provide students with opportunities to cultivate practical global entrepreneurship.

This campaign provides free registration for the 200,000 JPY annual fee 'Core Partner' plan until July 31, 2026.

Affiliate Partner (Free): A plan acting as a 'window' to provide international challenge opportunities to students.

Core Partner (200,000 JPY annual fee, free during the 2026 special campaign): A plan designed to create student growth and educational achievements, utilizing them as institutional 'assets.' It provides comprehensive support, including visualization of growth data, customized promotional support, and networking for faculty.

Main Benefits of Core Partner & Campaign Outline
