Unreasonable Kyoto "Design Thinking Workshop"
Access to technology is leading to revolutions, uprooting dictatorships and creating new levels of connectedness and transparency. And yet pressing challenges like famine, war, lack of education, poverty, disease, clean drinking water, global warming and energy scarcity still persist. Unreasonable Institute and Semester at Sea have joined forces to create Unreasonable at Sea. A mentor driven program designed to equip social-tech entrepreneurs with tools to tackle these global challenges and scale their solutions to billions.
Unreasonable At Sea will sail around the world for 100 days with 11 of the world's most aspirational entrepreneurs and 20 top class mentors. We will stop in 14 countries to connect with top government officials, pitch in front of hundreds of investors and meet each country’s most acclaimed entrepreneurs. Be a part of this first-of-its-kind program and help solve our social and environmental challenges of today. Japan will be our first international stop. Investors, government officials, press and like minded entrepreneurs and individuals welcomed.
