Projects to promote support for small and medium-sized enterprises and revitalize the local economy
Financial institutions with which we have cooperative agreements are connected with various companies in Ehime Prefecture and have a good grasp of what companies are currently doing and what they need. By knowing this, it becomes possible to align research and policies within the university, and to create a system that can easily collaborate with companies.
