International Professional University of Technology in Nagoya

Creating the next global standard from this university.

As former Vice President of Google’s U.S. headquarters and President of Google Japan, I　witnessed the company’s evolution from a startup to a global corporation.

Google’s mission is to organize and make accessible the world’s information, and it continues to develop new services and technologies to achieve this goal.

I have dedicated my life’s work to AI (Artificial Intelligence). In today’s world, AI and other digital technologies are becoming increasingly essential in all fields and industries.

Hence, it is crucial to have human resources with a broad perspective who can create the next global standard.

My new goal is to cultivate international professionals in the digital field for the future society.

My personal motto is “We are always fresh travelers. Let’s go as far as possible!”

Now, a new start. Let’s start on a new journey together farther into the future we have never seen yet.

A new “ideal university education” is coming into being.

Over the many years that I have been involved in university education, I have had first-hand experience of how its limitations prevent universities from developing the “new professionals” that society really needs for an era in which the world is rapidly evolving.

The learning on offer at IPUT Osaka, however, transcends these limitations.

Thanks to generous support from teaching staff with a wealth of professional experience, our students can effectively acquire new “scholarly knowledge” and gain “hands-on experience” through lectures, seminars, practical training, internships, and contact with industry people and the local community.

I believe that this is exactly the “ideal university education” that I have wished to create for so many years, and that, in these difficult times, can produce hard-working young people.

We are cultivating professionals, “Designers in Society”, who can apply the knowledge and skills acquired during four years of study to solve social challenges, thus contributing to the creation of the “good society”.

The International Professional University of Technology in Osaka – a place where students can learn how to transform society’s expectations into reality by “making dreams come true”.
