Hello, this is Takuto Akiyoshi, a third-year doctoral student.

On December 15, I gave a presentation in the final round of the Campus Venture Grand Prix (CVG) Osaka Regional Competition [1]. The title of my presentation was “ROBOZOO: A Robot Zoo that Nurtures the Heart.” This competition is known as a business plan contest for student entrepreneurs.
To explore how ROBOZOO—which I exhibited at the Osaka-Kansai Expo on July 13—can be implemented in society, I took on the challenge of participating in my first business plan competition, thinking about how to develop it through business as a form of social implementation. I am truly grateful to have received the top prize (championship), and I feel deep appreciation for everyone who has been involved and supported me along the way. Next, I will do my best at the national competition in February next year (2026)!
My reflections after finishing the presentation [2], as well as my thoughts on social implementation and entrepreneurship [3], are shared in the essays below—please take a look!
