First-year graduate student at the Okayama University Graduate School
of Humanities and Social Sciences KUBO Shunki was awarded the Special
Judges Award at the combined “46th Keizaikai Grand Prix” and “Golden Egg Project 2021” (sponsored by Keizaikai Co., Ltd.), which honors outstanding businesspeople and supports next generation entrepreneurs, respectively.
The Golden Egg Project has been held in combination with the Keizaikai
Grand Prix, which has been held since 1975. The aim of the project is to
commend next generation start-up businesses. Professor KAGAMI Shigeo
from Tokyo University School of Engineering served as chairman of the
judging committee, which included RINNO Hiroshi (CEO of Credit Saison),
IDEI Nobuyuki (CEO of Quantum Leaps Corporation), IZUMO Mitsuru (CEO of
Euglena), MIZUNO Yusuke (CEO of Life is Tech) and YAMAMOTO Toshiyuki
(SEVEN Founder).
Only ten applicants out of the original sixty-four made it through the
first two rounds of screening before attending the final selection round
on November 10. One applicant was selected as the grand prize winner,
while four other applicants received Special Judges Awards.
Mr. Kubo is the founder and CEO of job-hunting platform ABABA,
which promotes a new recruitment model by facilitating communication
between jobseekers and hirers. He had the opportunity to present ABABA
at the final selection round. When announcing ABABA as a recipient of
the Special Judges Award, the chairman of the judging panel noted that,
“The idea to recommend fresh graduates who fall out at the final stage
of the hiring process to other companies is extremely innovative and we
appreciate the applicant’s ability to incorporate a student’s
perspective into the business proposal”. On January 14, Mr. Kubo
attended the official awards ceremony held at Imperial Hotel Tokyo in
Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, where former prime minister ABE Shinzo was awarded
the 46th Keizaikai Grand Prix grand prize.
In January of last year, Mr. Kubo was awarded the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the 17th Campus Venture Grand Prix National Tournament（Sponsored by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, supported by the Japan Cabinet Office etc.）. We expect a bright future for Mr. Kubo and his company, which we hope will continue to grow as it tackles social issues.
