Jurin AI's Innovative Fellowship for Computer Science Students

Jurin AI Inc., a trailblazing Japanese startup known for developing AI agents for enterprises, has taken a significant leap by launching its first-ever fellowship program targeted at students majoring in computer science from universities and technical colleges both domestically and internationally. This initiative, named the "Jurin AI Fellowship," uniquely combines grant-based scholarships with hands-on mentoring, aiming to elevate the next wave of technological talent in Japan.

Mission Statement

The Deputy CEO of Jurin AI, Marco Avila, emphasizes the company's vision: "To create the world’s best AI from Japan." As the global competition in the AI sector intensifies, the core belief that Japan's technological future lies in its builders drives the purpose of this fellowship. Jurin AI is not merely offering scholarships; it is fostering an ecosystem designed to cultivate future tech leaders.
