Through public-private collaboration that transcends positions, we will further strengthen the promotion of social issue resolution and the development of Kyoto's industries. https://beyondtaliki.info/ ◆Overview of BEYOND "BEYOND" was launched in 2018 by taliki Inc., which supports players working to solve social issues (Kyoto Research Park Co., Ltd. has participated and cooperated since the winter of 2018). It is Japan's largest social conference for social entrepreneurs, with a total of 9 events held to date and over 3,600 participants. BEYOND's characteristic is that it is "a place to fully support people aiming to solve social issues." Starting from the voices and questions of professionals challenging on the front lines, it creates time where resources necessary for business growth intersect with diverse knowledge and perspectives. BEYOND is not a place where someone teaches the right answers. It is a place for encounters and co-creation, open to all who wish to make society even slightly better, where participants from all sectors and generations, including entrepreneurs, companies, government, investors, NPOs, and students, gather and think and grow together beyond the relationship of "supporting/being supported."
