Kindai University (Higashi Osaka, Osaka) and Financie, Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; hereafter Financie), a blockchain-based NFT planning and business, signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement on 1 August 2023 (Tuesday).

This is the first time that Financie has signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with a university.

In the future, the two parties will make maximum use of each other’s strengths and resources, aiming to enhance education, research, student services, etc. and develop human resources through information technology.

1.Key points of the agreement

  • Kindai University and Financie, a blockchain-based NFT planning and business, sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement
  • Aiming to launch a decentralized autonomous organization (*DAO) community with current students, graduates, researchers and local residents
  • Aiming to establish a model case for the enhancement of education, research, student services, etc., the development of human resources and contributions to the local community through the use of Web3

*Decentralised Autonomous Organisation, known as DAO. The members of the organization are autonomous and have their own decision-making power without a specific owner or manager.

2. Details of the agreement

Kindai University and Financie have signed a Comprehensive Cooperation Agreement to enhance education, research, student services and other activities and to develop human resources through information technology.

Kindai University has been a pioneer in implementing initiatives related to Web3, such as the distribution of commemorative NFTs to new students. Meanwhile, Financie offers the blockchain-based token-issuing crowdfunding FiNANCiE, which supports token issuance and ongoing fan community formation for more than 200 sports teams and entertainment and regional development projects.

Taking the opportunity of this comprehensive cooperation agreement, the two parties will combine their knowledge and aim to launch a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) community (hereafter referred to as a DAO-type community) that promotes continuous interaction between students, graduates, researchers and local people. We also aim to establish a new model case for the enrichment of education, research and student services, the development of human resources and contributions to society through the use of Web3.

As a first step in establishing a DAO-type community, a seminar on DAO-type communities and the token system will be held for students participating in KINCUBA, a venture business start-up support programme from Kindai University, to recruit students who are willing to start their own businesses using next-generation technology.
