Fukuoka City will begin a free three-month program in December to train engineers to launch solo AI-based businesses. The “Engineer Ignition Camp” offers lectures on AI development, mentoring by active entrepreneurs, and a final presentation event. Open to 20 local engineers or students, it will be held at the Engineer Café in the Red Brick Cultural Center. Mayor Soichiro Takashima said the initiative aims to create “one-person startups” amid Japan’s labor shortages. Applications close November 19. Source: Engineer Ignition Camp / Fukuoka City
