We support start-ups and SMEs in their desire to grow and expand, learn, and access opportunities while creating new opportunities with the support of the government, the media, and private industry leaders. We also support governments and private organisations to fulfill their ecosystem development, innovation, and R&D mandates.
It is our mission to support the healthy and rapid development of the entrepreneurship ecosystem as a whole and to promote the Korean ecosystem globally.
