What We Do

Here we introduce our initiatives and the thinking at their core.

Pyramid Circulation Model

― A co-learning system connecting education, enterprise, and the economy

The "Pyramid Circulation Model" lies at the heart of every activity of the Kyushu-Taiwan Future Institute.

It represents a structure in which three layers, education, enterprise, and the economy, build on one another step by step, influence each other, and circulate.

Education

Co-Learning

Knowledge and people grow from places of learning, such as talent development, co-learning sessions, and cross-cultural understanding.

Enterprise

Practice

The people who grow there create value by putting their learning into practice in companies and organizations, working on co-creation and problem solving.

Economy

Growth and Return

This practice spreads to society and the regional economy, creating new possibilities and opportunities for sustainable growth.

And those results and insights flow back into education, becoming the power to nurture the next people and knowledge.

In this way, learning and practice, the local and the international, and people with people are linked in a circulating model.

Putting the Model into Practice in KTVI Programs

We put the model above into practice in KTVI programs as follows.

We will continue to improve and take on a variety of challenges.

Education: The Foundation of Co-Learning

First, nurture cross-border questions and interests through dialogue and co-learning.

KTVI regularly holds co-learning sessions, including monthly online study sessions, nurturing spaces where people connect beyond individuals and organizations and deepen their thinking.

Examples:

・Monthly online study sessions (co-learning sessions)

・Cross-cultural co-learning workshops

Join us and learn together

Enterprise: The Field of Practice

Connections and questions sprouting from the soil of co-learning grow into practice.

The connections and questions that sprout from everyday co-learning develop into practice as special projects. These special programs are challenges in the real world.

Examples:

・Industry research and co-learning practice projects with Taiwanese graduate students

・Corporate partnerships and cross-border projects in the GENx BORDER program

Economy: Spreading Value and Returning It to Society

Beyond co-learning and practice, new value for society is born.

The results and insights from projects carried out in companies and by individuals bring new perspectives, connections, and value to local communities and economic activity.
Their effects flow back into regional policy, educational institutions, and the development of the next generation, creating a sustainable cycle of co-creation.

Examples:

・Reporting sessions and policy proposals from industry research projects

・Public events and media outreach on program results

・Expanding into next-generation development and organizational transformation within local companies
