Tokyo, Japan – August 27, 2025 – The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the fifth cohort of its highly successful “Entrepreneurship Start-Dash” High School Entrepreneurship Training Program. This initiative, aimed at fostering the next generation of innovative business leaders, provides high school students with invaluable opportunities to develop their entrepreneurial skills and bring their ideas to fruition.
