[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the ComeUp 2020 Organizing Committee announced on the 23rd that they are recruiting 120 startups to participate in the 'ComeUp 2020' online IR.


ComeUp 2020 is the largest global startup festival in Korea, scheduled to be held in November. To establish itself as the standard model for global startup events in the non-face-to-face era, ComeUp is preparing an event centered on non-face-to-face and online formats. Startups participating in the ComeUp online IR will be selected through evaluation targeting promising startups in new technology fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, with a final selection of 120 companies planned for early September.


The ComeUp IR startup recruitment is broadly divided into the Rocket League (84 companies) and the Rookie League (36 companies). The Rocket League selects excellent startups related to industries corresponding to 12 sessions, while the Rookie League targets early-stage startups within three years of establishment and with cumulative investment of less than 500 million KRW.


The 120 startups finally selected will be provided with extensive opportunities for scale-up through corporate IR video production, global investor business matching, and investment attraction. Applications will be accepted from July 24 to August 23 on the ComeUp 2020 website.



Lee Soonbae, Director General of Startup Policy at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, “The online IR startups finally selected are the highlight of ComeUp 2020,” adding, “Through ComeUp, they will have the best opportunity to showcase their business models to investors worldwide online.”
