Additionally, after learning basic knowledge and information about Osaka through lectures, they will eventually be able to understand the “entrepreneurial spirit of the mercantile city of Osaka” while taking advantage of the characteristics of the mercantile city of Osaka, including observation of the history, actual situation and current situation of companies with roots in Osaka, lectures from business people, and so forth.
