testimonials

This program was especially meaningful to me because it was my first time visiting Japan. Interestingly, unlike many people whose first impression of Japan may come from Tokyo or Osaka, my first encounter with the country began in Fukuoka. Through this entrepreneurship-focused program, I was able to experience Japan from multiple perspectives, including game development, anime culture, IoT and smart manufacturing, yatai food culture, traditional Hakata dolls, and even baseball culture. What I discovered was a Japan full of energy, innovation, and deep cultural heritage. Fukuoka showed me how tradition and modern technology can coexist in a city that is both creative and forward-looking. This journey brought great inspiration to my academic life, helped me develop an initial understanding of entrepreneurship, and gave me many new ideas and possibilities for my future career. More than just a study trip, the 2026 NTU Fukuoka Program became a valuable turning point that broadened my vision and encouraged me to imagine how I could contribute to the world through technology, creativity, and cross-cultural collaboration.
