Message from the President and Vice President

In an era of uncertainty, breakthrough begins with learning together.
Our challenge enters its third year.
Thank you for your interest in Shibuya Web3 University. If you have found your way to this page, you are likely sensing some challenge in your current situation and exploring new possibilities.
Nearly three years have passed since Shibuya Web3 University opened. Web3, built on blockchain technology, has evolved from a stage of discussing ideals to one of implementation and creating value in society.
Meanwhile, generative AI has rapidly permeated society since the emergence of ChatGPT. While many companies are adopting it, Web3 still faces cautious perspectives. However, we are convinced that these two technologies complement each other and will generate new value. AI advances the times; Web3 transforms them. This fusion is the key to opening the next era.
From learning to implementation, and on to leader development.
Over these three years, our challenge has deepened significantly.
Through training, we provide systematic knowledge and ways of thinking. Through the Create Course, we create opportunities for practice. What became clear through this cycle is how vital the presence of "leaders who can change reality" truly is.
No matter how excellent the technology you learn, no matter how innovative the project you envision, society will not change unless there are people who can make decisions of their own will and take action.
From this conviction, the SGX Professional Program will launch in February 2026. Through our partnership with UITM in Poland, we offer MBA/DBA-equivalent programs taught in Japanese. We cultivate not knowledge, but the "vessel of consciousness," developing leaders who can move reality. The learning and practice at Shibuya Web3 University naturally leads to this leader development.
Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture—and the next demonstration projects.
The demonstration project in Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, was adopted in September 2025. We are leading a three-company consortium in Japan's first initiative to fuse blockchain technology with analog disaster prevention activities. Create Course members are participating under their own company names, applying knowledge gained from training to solve real-world challenges.
This is only the beginning. Going forward, we will expand these demonstration projects horizontally, growing opportunities for "living learning" that cannot be experienced elsewhere. Learning becomes practice, and practice becomes social implementation. This cycle is the true value of Shibuya Web3 University.
To the challengers in enterprise companies.
Over these three years, we have seen increasing participation from professionals working on sustainable growth in large corporations.
Taking on new business ventures. Transforming existing operations through DX. Nurturing seeds of innovation while battling organizational barriers. It is precisely you whom we want to join this community.
Opportunities are growing to confront social challenges beyond corporate boundaries and to create—or participate in—demonstration projects as places of practice. And when you want to further elevate your perspective as a leader, the path of the SGX Professional Program is also open to you.
A one-of-a-kind learning community that transcends age.
The true strength of Shibuya Web3 University lies in its diversity. From elementary school students to executives—anyone with ambition and potential can participate. This intergenerational coexistence, distinct from other business-focused communities, generates fresh perspectives and inspiration.
Young members from elementary and middle school present confidently at monthly events. Their pure curiosity and flexible thinking provide powerful inspiration to adults. The straightforward questions of the younger generation break through the assumptions of "why is this taken for granted?" Even experienced professionals rediscover their beginner's mind and gain new perspectives from witnessing this.
Technology moves the times; people create value.
The spirit we put into the name Shibuya Web3 University: We want to be a place that constantly asks, "What is technology for?"
AI advances the times; Web3 transforms them. But it is always people who create the value beyond. Technology continues to evolve. Constantly absorbing new things, thinking, and practicing. It is within this cycle that people grow, organizations evolve, and society changes.
What we aim to cultivate is a "culture of continuous learning."
In training, we provide systematic knowledge and ways of thinking. In the Create Course, we bring together the diverse strengths of members and co-create demonstration project opportunities. And in the SGX Professional Program, we prepare a path to grow into leaders who can integrate all of this and move reality.
This cycle—where learning, practice, social implementation, and leader development become one—is the ultimate value that cannot be found elsewhere. Together with fellow members, we will transform your "I want to" into "I can."
Only those who act can change reality.
Only those who act create the future.
Shibuya Web3 University is not merely a place for learning. It is a place where we practice what we learn, implement what we practice into society, and grow through that experience. It is a place where we create this cycle together.
Now, let us take that first step together.
