An idea competition is held every July to improve the motivation of the student members and to obtain ideas of the highest quality. Free-thinking students offer presentations that excite everyone on the site. Brilliant ideas emerge every year.
We evaluate the ideas from the annual idea competition - and any of the other new ideas we regularly receive - from several angles. If Toyota Motors Kyushu thinks a presentation will satisfy a lot of needs, we'll support it and proceed with new product development. Applying for patents jointly with Toyota Motors Kyushu for a unique idea or product means the idea will be supported until the patent is registered. |
