Ulsan-style Sharing Economy No.1 'Shared Kitchen' Operation to Revitalize Youth Startups

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Ulsan City announced on the 6th that it will operate a 'Shared Kitchen' as the first project of the 'Ulsan-type Shared Economy Activation Promotion Plan.'

The shared kitchen operates by allowing multiple users to use a kitchen where food manufacturing and sales are possible. It is located on the 4th floor of the Workers' Welfare Center in Samsan-dong, Nam-gu, and is equipped with a meeting room for idea sharing and incubating. It plans to operate from the end of June targeting youth and vulnerable groups.

In addition, public institutions relocated to the innovation city, such as Korea East-West Power, Korea National Oil Corporation, Korea Energy Agency, and Korea Energy Economics Institute, will donate all necessary items for the shared kitchen.

The Ulsan Youth Startup Academy of the Small and Medium Business Corporation will provide incubation services such as startup stage education and dedicated counseling for tenants of the shared kitchen.

An official from Ulsan City said, "We expect this to bring a fresh breeze to the local economy by responding to youth-centered startup demand and providing jobs in the food service industry, which has increased online purchases due to the COVID-19 pandemic."
