NIJIN's Student Interns Shine at Startup Internship Festival 2026 Pre-Event

Spotlight on NIJIN at the Startup Internship Festival 2026

On July 12, 2026, from 13:00 to 16:00, the Tokyo Innovation Base buzzed with energy as the pre-event seminar for the Startup Internship Festival 2026 took place. Hosted by NIJIN, an education startup based in Koto, Tokyo, this seminar was a precursor to the main event scheduled for August 2, 2026.

NIJIN was represented by its CEO, Tatsuro Hoshino, and two student interns who took part in a lively discussion aimed at sharing valuable insights with attending students. The event featured eight participating companies, including Bocek, F&V, HA-LU, NIJIN, Work as Life, Paradis, madoguchi, and CourseVALU.

Engaging Activities and Student Interaction

The seminar began with introductory remarks from company representatives. Following that, the participants engaged in an innovative group activity called the Value Card Game, designed to promote interaction through the exploration of personal values. This engaging exercise allowed attendees to share their backgrounds and viewpoints, further enriching the discussions.

In the latter half of the seminar, the interns fielded questions from the audience, responding from a student’s perspective. Their authentic replies captivated many and drew significant interest from attendees, creating a relatable and engaging atmosphere.

Positive Reactions and Networking Opportunities

The event did not just facilitate learning; it fostered connections. Students were thrilled to link with representatives from other companies and even expressed their desire to recommend the internship to peers. This networking opportunity proved invaluable, with interns connecting directly with university students and industry professionals.

Looking Ahead: SIF2026 Main Event

This pre-seminar serves as a vital step toward the delivery of the main event on August 2, 2026, from 13:00 to 18:00 at Tokyo Innovation Base. NIJIN’s intern team is gearing up to manage logistics, booth exhibitions, and presentations, ensuring a seamless experience for all involved.
