COMPANY PROFILE
Company Profile
We provide services including research, consulting, institutional design, and technology demonstrations related to technological and market trends in advanced frontier fields such as space, ocean, and quantum technologies, as well as science, technology and innovation policy, and the creation of regional innovation ecosystems.
We find it extremely attractive that the graduate school cultivates talent who study science, engineering, and management in an integrated manner, gain exposure to ESEC's cutting-edge projects, and learn alongside international students, and recognize the value of diversity.
The primary role in which graduates are likely to excel would be as consultants working in divisions engaged in space-related business. In addition, we believe they could play active roles in adjacent fields such as Air Mobility and telecommunications.
For consultants at a think tank, it is important to possess deep expertise in specific fields. Therefore, graduates will be able to leverage their knowledge and skills in the scientific and engineering aspects of space-related fields. At the same time, the ability to work across a broad range of fields is also an important quality. We believe that graduates who have studied science, engineering, and management in a cross-disciplinary manner show strong potential in terms of adaptability and practical application.
