Accelerate Your Business in South Korea Through 2019 K-Startup Grand Challenge

SEOUL--(Korea Newswire) May 30, 2019 -- Entrepreneurs from across the globe should set their sights on participating in the 2019 K-Startup Grand Challenge. 

 

 

Supported by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) of South Korea, the initiative provides invaluable support and comprehensive resources to early age startups. 

Applications for the K-Startup Grand Challenge are currently being accepted through June 14, 2019. In order to advance in the program, teams must pass a regional audition. 

A judging panel of startup ecosystem experts and Korean accelerators will select 40 teams to participate in an enriching 3.5 month-long acceleration program in Korea. 

 


The selected teams will have exclusive access to free office space at the Startup Campus in Pangyo Techno Valley, one-on-one mentoring, information sessions, coaching on Korean and Asian business culture and the chance to attend insightful seminars on accounting regulations to tax laws, patents and more. Opportunities for networking with executives from major Korean companies spanning from smartphones to semiconductors that are interested in collaborating with startups are also in store. Assistance will be available to foreign nationals who need help securing a proper visa through the Startup Immigration Support System of the NIPA, which has the distinction of being the “Global Center for Startup and Immigration.” 

The top 40 teams of the K-Startup Grand Challenge will receive a total of $10,840 over 3.5 months to cover living expenses. In addition, the top 20 startups will be eligible to receive a total of $10,840 each in additional grants for settlement in Korea based on the results of their Demo Day in early December and settlement evaluation. It will be interesting to see what brilliant ideas the teams present from AI, Blockchain, IoT, Big Data, FinTech, 5G, Biotech and other sectors. 

Since its inception, the K-Startup Grand Challenge has proven to be an outstanding success, fostering growth for international startups. Last year, 1,771 startups from 108 countries competed for a coveted spot in the program. 

The program has been published in TechCrunch. 

If you are ready to take your business to the next level and would like to participate in the 2019 K-Startup Grand Challenge, visit the official website and Facebook page or watch YouTube teaser video.

“제부마리나랑 같이 바다쐬자”...화성특례시 2025년 한부모가족 요트 체험 행사 개최
(케이엠뉴스) 화성특례시가 지난 28일 제부마리나 일원에서 관내 한부모가족 100명을 대상으로 해양레저 체험 행사인 ‘제부마리나랑 같이 바다쐬자’를 개최했다. 이번 행사는 평소 해양레저를 접하기 어려운 소외계층이 바다 체험에 참여할 기회를 제공하고 가족 간 소통과 정서적 유대를 강화하기 위해 마련된 것으로 한 것으로, 경기해양레저발전협의회의 제안으로 시작됐다. 이날 행사에서는 경기해양레저발전협의회가 요트 체험을 지원한 것 외에도, ▲화성시전세버스가족협의회의 참가자 이동을 위한 관광버스 무상 지원 ▲경기평택항만공사(제부마리나)의 점심 도시락과 쉼터 공간 지원 ▲제부도해상케이블카 운영사(서해랑)의 케이블카 무료 탑승권 제공 등의 후원이 이어져 체험의 폭을 넓혔다. 이날 행사는 단순한 요트 체험을 넘어 민과 관이 자발적으로 협력해 만든 포용적 복지의 실현모델로 그 의미를 더했으며, 아이들이 요트를 타고 넓은 바다를 직접 체험하는 특별한 추억과 함께 미래에 대한 꿈과 희망을 키우는 계기가 됐다. 진정삼 경기해양레저발전협의회 회장은 “요트는 아이들이 어릴 때 쉽게 접하기 어려운 해양레저이기에, 이번 체험이
