The 2025 Giving Campaign After Party: A Unifying Success

On November 29, 2025, Alumnote Inc., located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, hosted an unforgettable After Party at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya (BASE Q), following the major fundraising event, the Giving Campaign 2025, held in October. This affair attracted around 200 university students who participated in the campaign and brought together 10 sponsoring companies, all sharing a common interest in supporting student activities.

Celebrating Achievements and Planning for the Future

The After Party served a dual purpose: to celebrate the students' hard work during the Giving Campaign 2025 and to express gratitude to the sponsors for their unwavering support. The event was designed to encourage direct interactions between students and sponsors, where they could share insights about future objectives, the utilization of received support, and reflect on their achievements in the Campaign. It was apparent that the event fostered an active exchange of ideas among students, with many interactions crossing regional and disciplinary boundaries.

A Day of Engagement and Recognition

Attendees experienced a series of highlights during the event, including an award ceremony honoring standout student organizations, such as the Osaka University Ice Hockey Club. The celebration also featured panel discussions, where both students and sponsors shared their perspectives on the campaign's significance, and a networking session that facilitated interaction between participants. This tangible connection transformed online engagement into meaningful in-person relationships, acting as a catalyst for ongoing partnerships.

Voices of the Participants: A Journey of Mutual Growth

Students: Gaining Confidence from Societal Recognition

Students expressed how the After Party became an invaluable opportunity to gauge the societal perception of their initiatives. Many remarked, "This event allowed us to understand how our activities are viewed by society, offering us essential feedback from corporations that led to new operational insights and future opportunities." Furthermore, meeting companies they ordinarily wouldn’t interact with provided students with inspiration as they contemplated their career paths.

Companies: Energized by Student Enthusiasm

Sponsoring companies reported an inspiring encounter with passionate students, stating, "We met highly motivated students and engaged in meaningful exchanges that deepened our understanding of each other." Following the event, many companies actively explored collaborative possibilities, such as visiting student organizations and co-hosting events, signaling a shift from mere financial support to sustainable partnerships.

Special Feature: Panel Discussion

The panel included representatives from Alumnote Inc., main sponsors like SHIFT Corporation and SoftBank Group, and student organizations such as the University of Tokyo’s Robotech and Kyushu Institute of Technology's Satellite Development Project. This dialogue emphasized the importance of collaboration between academia and industry in driving future innovations.
