Unlock New Business Ideas: KOBE BASE CAMP Blends AI and Business Development

KOBE BASE CAMP: A Unique Opportunity to Innovate in 60 Minutes

On March 2, 2026, AlphaDrive will host an innovative workshop called KOBE BASE CAMP for companies based in Kobe. This event addresses a common challenge faced by businesses: the difficulty of generating new business ideas. The workshop aims to dispel the myths surrounding business innovation, such as the notion that it's time-consuming or unclear how to begin. In just an hour, participants will learn to craft initial business hypotheses encompassing customer needs, challenges, solutions, and value propositions.

The Background

Many companies grapple with issues like, "I can't think of any ideas," "It takes too long," or "I don't know how to proceed with new business development." KOBE BASE CAMP serves as a response to these barriers, utilizing AlphaDrive's proprietary Business Development Method alongside cutting-edge AI tools. The workshop will provide a hands-on experience that equips participants to develop initial business concepts quickly.

Key Features of KOBE BASE CAMP

1. Rapid Hypothesis Construction in 60 Minutes: This practical program enables participants to overcome the “no idea” mindset right away. The first 40 minutes will focus on learning the correct methodologies for new business development, while the remaining 20 minutes will be dedicated to leveraging AI tools to brainstorm and output business ideas. Participants will see their abstractions transformed into a concrete "business blueprint" in a remarkably short time.

2. Access to AlphaDrive's Tools and Methodologies: Participants will receive free exposure to the framework utilized by numerous major companies, learning how to apply it effectively in a short time.
