Delivering Startup News Weekly... Launch of 'Startup Weekly Issue'
Ministry of SMEs and Startups & Korea Startup Promotion Agency, Startup Weekly Card News
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The 'Startup Weekly Issue,' which summarizes major issues in the global startup ecosystem, will be published at the end of this month. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Park Young-sun, hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (President Kim Kwang-hyun, hereinafter referred to as Kised) announced on the 22nd that they have decided to officially provide the 'Startup Weekly Issue' service, which has been piloted internally since the 24th of last month, to startups and the general public starting at the end of May.
This service was planned to periodically monitor the rapidly changing startup ecosystem in the post-COVID-19 era and to enable policymakers and startups to jointly keep pace with key global ecosystem trend changes, thereby timely reflecting policies in business. Although the pilot operation was originally scheduled until the first half of the year, the official service schedule was moved up by one month based on internal feedback that exceeded expectations.
The Startup Weekly Issue is visualized in the form of 'card news' tailored to the sensibilities of the younger generation accustomed to smartphones, making it easy to read and understand the core issues of the startup ecosystem. Past issues produced and distributed include introductions to startups that turned the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity in 'Post-COVID-19 Era, Startups as Innovation Leaders!' and in-depth analyses of key startup issues reflecting recent consumer trend changes such as 'The Trend of Fansumer in Startups' and 'The Decline of the Sharing Economy and the Rise of the Subscription Economy.' Recently, a series on 'Mega Trends in the Post-COVID-19 Era' has been organized.
