NINZIA Begins Hosting Student Interns from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, via Entrepreneurship Program

NINZIA (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Kobe; CEO & CRO: Masahiro Yorita) has started hosting Singaporean student interns through the 'Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP)' conducted by Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.

Beginning with this initiative, the company aims to promote business development and R&D in overseas markets, starting with ASEAN, alongside the next generation of global talent, to propose the future of food.

■ About Nanyang Technological University's 'Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP)'
The Overseas Entrepreneurship Programme (OEP) is an overseas internship program operated by the NTU Entrepreneurship Academy (NTUpreneur), the entrepreneurship training organization at NTU.

The program is part of the 'Global Innovation Alliance (GIA)' initiative by the Singapore Ministry of Education, aiming for students to gain practical experience at startups and innovation companies around the world.

Participating students, after completing entrepreneurship education programs at the university, are dispatched to companies abroad where they engage in business development and market research with local teams.

■ Talent Exchange Focusing on the Global Market
NINZIA has previously been expanding its business not only in Japan but also in overseas markets such as Singapore and the United States.

Through this internship hosting, the company provides students with opportunities to learn practically about food challenges and the potential of the food tech sector in overseas markets while experiencing NINZIA's business and technologies.

For NINZIA, this exchange with students from diverse backgrounds is an opportunity to incorporate new perspectives and insights into their business activities.

■ Towards Accelerating Overseas Expansion
NINZIA is developing texture engineering technology using konjac-derived dietary fiber, aiming to realize a world where everyone can enjoy eating, beyond 'food restrictions.'

Moving forward, the company intends to continue building a global business foundation through collaborations with international educational institutions, research institutions, and companies, pushing forward the social implementation of Japan-originated food technology.
