New TV CM Message: "BE A GLOBAL PROFESSIONAL."

In an era where digital technology, including AI, is essential regardless of field or industry, the key to opening up the future lies not in the latest technology itself, but in the "humans" who master it. We at International Professional University of Technology believe that those who can cross borders with technology as a common language and create the next global standard themselves will move the world.

President Norio Murakami, former Vice President of Google US, appears in the CM himself, expressing with his own words that the university has been reborn into one that looks at the world on a larger scale. The CM song is "Not AI," an unreleased new song by singer-songwriter SIRUP, who crosses various music genres. The sound and flow, which are not bound by fixed concepts, powerfully back up the CM's message.

BE A GLOBAL PROFESSIONAL. As a professional who can grasp things with a global mindset and perspective. Let's go together to the edge of the world, to a future you've never seen before.
