[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The LINC+ Project Group at Gyeongnam National University recently announced on the 23rd that a total of 14 teams were selected in the regional presentation evaluation of the '2020 Student Promising Startup Teams 300,' achieving the remarkable feat of advancing the most teams in the Southeast region for four consecutive years.

The '2020 Student Promising Startup Teams 300' conducts 'online document screening' and 'basic competency enhancement education' followed by 'regional/track presentation evaluations' to select promising startup teams who will participate in the 'Startup Promising Teams Festival' scheduled for August.

The Gyeongnam National University LINC+ Project Group's Startup Education Center operated the 'EX Startup Academy Advanced Course,' an entrepreneurial idea realization education program, for the students advancing to this 'regional/track presentation evaluation.'

As a result, a total of 14 teams were selected, ranking second nationwide after Chungbuk National University, achieving the remarkable feat of advancing the most teams in the Southeast region for four consecutive years.

The 14 startup clubs advancing this time will receive various benefits, including a preliminary promising startup team certificate issued by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, ▲ customized startup education for each preparation stage, ▲ exemption from the first document screening in next year's competition, ▲ preferential treatment when selected for startup-related programs by the Ministry of Education and organizing institutions, and ▲ support funds for prototype production.

Park Eun-joo, head of the LINC+ Project Group at Gyeongnam National University, emphasized, "Despite the difficult environment due to COVID-19, Gyeongnam National University has continuously led successful student startup models through full support for startup education and startup clubs. We will support the students wholeheartedly so that they can complete the competition this time."
