In this open course, students are taught about the concept of a digital startup and the tricks to successfully set up a digital startup. Learning is carried out for 2 months starting from August to September 2021. By cooperating with professional teaching staff, it is hoped that students who take these courses can receive broad knowledge and are increasingly motivated to see the potential of both natural resources and human resources through technology into a business opportunity.
