The Enterprise Award was given for proposing research that developed bamboo and banana products, which allowed communities to create jobs and increase income, improving lives. Lastly, the Inclusivity Award was received for work on equality and care for all students, including those with disabilities and low incomes, by supporting scholarships, the morale clinic, job seeking while studying, health insurance, and creating opportunities for international exchange.
