[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonbuk National University has joined hands with universities in the Jeonbuk region to establish a high-quality entrepreneurship education system.

On the 17th, Jeonbuk National University announced that it signed a business agreement with eight universities, including Gunsan University, Wonkwang University, and Korea National College of Agriculture and Fisheries.

This agreement aims to strengthen the cooperative system for entrepreneurship education linked to local industries among nine universities in the Jeonbuk region that are building entrepreneurship education-related centers.

Jeonbuk National University and other universities have decided to develop joint entrepreneurship education programs and establish entrepreneurship development and support systems.

The universities plan to share information related to student entrepreneurship support and operate high-quality entrepreneurship education programs through this collaboration.

In particular, this agreement includes three universities not participating in the LINC+ project (Leaders in Industry-university Cooperation+ Project for Customized Social Needs), in addition to six universities conducting the project, to jointly promote the spread of entrepreneurial culture and the creation of an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.

The nine universities have held their first meeting in July last year, sharing best practices and discussing joint programs at each university, and held the first joint program, the Jeonbuk Area Joint Entrepreneurship Camp (Makers Development).

A representative from the Jeonbuk National University Entrepreneurship Education Center said, “This agreement has enabled us to consolidate the capabilities of universities in the Jeonbuk area and strengthen the substance of entrepreneurship education. We will continue to strive so that these excellent cases spread and cooperation can be expanded to other fields.”
