COVID-19 Response... From the 7th, All Startup Support Project In-Person Evaluations Will Be Conducted Online Remotely

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Park Young-sun, hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) announced that from the 7th, non-face-to-face online evaluations will be applied to all face-to-face evaluations of startup support projects to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Last month, the Ministry announced that it would flexibly operate startup support projects by extending recruitment periods and substituting online evaluations in response to the rapid spread of COVID-19. As a follow-up measure, it has prepared a manual for online non-face-to-face evaluations. In particular, to facilitate the convenience of the evaluated parties, online presentation evaluations will be conducted using video call platforms, and thorough preparations are being made to ensure smooth proceedings, including mandatory rehearsals in an environment identical to the evaluation day.

On the day of the evaluation, personal information will first be verified and consent obtained to prevent proxy attendance by the evaluated parties, and the entire presentation evaluation process will be recorded. If there were no issues during the rehearsal but the evaluation could not proceed properly due to connection problems on the evaluation day, a re-evaluation opportunity will also be provided. After the evaluation, a reverse evaluation of the evaluators will be conducted using an online survey platform, and any inconveniences experienced during the evaluation will be suggested to be reflected in future non-face-to-face online evaluation operations.
