Extension of Application Period by One Week for the "Power of Connection, Digital Dream 9" Contest

To Specify Ideas for Problem Solving

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (President Kim Kwang-hyun) announced that the application period for the 'Power of Connection, Digital Dream 9' contest has been extended by 7 days, from the original August 20 to August 27.

This extension was decided by actively reflecting the opinions of startups, who emphasized the need for sufficient time due to the high difficulty of this new contest format, which involves "large corporations presenting challenges and startups providing solutions." Startups that have already applied will also be given the opportunity to revise their applications to further develop their ideas.

This contest is open to any startup with ideas capable of solving challenges presented by large corporations, and selected startups will receive funding of up to 2.5 billion KRW through a three-stage evaluation process. Opportunities for collaboration with large corporations will also be provided. Except for the extension of the application period, all other details remain the same as the original announcement. Applications can be submitted online through the K-Startup Startup Support Portal website by 5 p.m. on August 27.
