Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma Takes Up Professor Role At Tokyo College.
Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma has been invited to be a visiting professor at Tokyo College, a new organization run by the University of Tokyo, according to an announcement made by the university on Monday.
Ma’s appointment is for a term that finishes at the end of October, but it is renewable on an annual basis, and he will be involved in advising on important research themes and giving lectures on management and business start-ups.
Tokyo College was founded in 2019 to act as a bridge between the University of Tokyo and overseas researchers and research institutions.
The appointment comes after Ma’s return to China in March following more than a year overseas, which was seen as reflecting the sober mood of the country’s private businesses after a tough two-year regulatory crackdown.
