*What is the SEKATEN-UX business?
As climate change progresses on a global scale, building sustainable communities is an urgent need. In particular, it is important to develop human resources who can deal with regional issues related to GX. The main goal of this exchange program is to develop human resources by looking at the knowledge needed to solve regional issues from a global perspective.
