The social enterprise ‘SE Makers,’ which deals with youth communities and startups, will operate the ‘Ulsan Jung-gu Youth Didimter’ completed last month for two years.

On the 19th, Ulsan Jung-gu signed an agreement with SE Makers as the entrusted institution for the startup space ‘Ulsan Jung-gu Youth Didimter’ for youth entrepreneurs.

The signing ceremony was attended by Park Tae-wan, Mayor of Jung-gu, SE Makers CEO Kim Sun-young, members of the Jung-gu Youth Policy Council, and about 10 others.

Youth Didimter is the region’s first officetel-type youth startup space with lodging facilities, managed through professional private consignment.

SE Makers has been evaluated highly for its performance in youth startup tasks, having completed 11 projects related to youth and startups and 11 projects related to youth community formation and network building over the past three years.

Headquartered in Ulsan Jung-gu, this company operates as a social enterprise and holds venture business certification, Inno-Biz certification, ISO certification, and patents.

From next month until June 30, 2022, SE Makers will handle the property operation and management of ‘Youth Didimter,’ selection and screening of youth tenants, and website management for two years.

They will also develop and support various programs that help tenants and youth entrepreneurs in the Ulsan area carry out startup activities using the Didimter facilities.

As part of the ‘Youth Employment Support Didimdol Project,’ the ‘Youth Didimter’ was created through an urban regeneration project, initiated in 2018 and completed last May.

It was built on a 165㎡ site of the former Bando Motel on Hakseong-ro, Jung-gu, with one basement floor and four above-ground floors, totaling 427.71㎡ in floor area. The first floor houses a youth startup cafe; the second floor includes four meeting rooms and a training room; the third and fourth floors feature four two-person startup spaces and two four-person startup spaces, along with bunk beds, work tables, wardrobes, refrigerators, heating and cooling systems, a dining area, shower rooms, and laundry facilities.

Park Tae-wan, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, “I am pleased to work with SE Makers, a company in Jung-gu that always thinks of youth and supports their economic participation.” He added, “Let us all work together to create an innovative Jung-gu where youth want to stay by jointly considering youth startups and jobs.”
