Article excerpt ↓↓
“A team from Gifu High School (Gifu City) entering the ‘High School Mock Enterprise Grand Prix — RealBiz’ has developed ‘WAKOSEN,’ an aroma-infused folding fan that showcases Mino-Washi. Sales begin on the 6th. ‘It’s a collaboration of tradition and high-school creativity. We’re determined to win the Grand Prix,’ the students say.
RealBiz is an entrepreneurial experience program run by the certified NPO ‘Institute for Financial Literacy.’ Students found a mock company, use 300,000 yen in seed funds, and work on product development, production, and sales. The championship is decided by evaluating profits and their overall enterprise activity.”
