NIN(NAIST Innovation Network) is organized mainly by graduate students of Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), who seek to start new businesses, using their skills and knowledge in Science & Technology. The purpose of NIN is to create a “Venture Habitat” in the Keihanna area: Kyoto, Osaka and Nara, and inspire young engineers to start up their own companies. The main activities of NIN are holding workshops and study sessions to foster skills and transmit know-how needed for establishing venture businesses. Anyone from the Keihanna area who wants to start a science- and technology-related business is welcome.
