Dongmyung University Southeast Region Experimental Startup Innovation Group is conducting the '2020 Southeast Region Mini I-corp Program' to help utilize research outcomes in the market.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A project to revive research results that have been underutilized or neglected in the market is underway at Dongmyung University.

On the 29th, Dongmyung University announced that it will operate a program to help utilize various and new research achievements from universities and public laboratories in the southeastern region in the market.

The Dongmyung University Southeastern Region Laboratory Startup Innovation Group (Director No Seong-yeo) started the '2020 Southeastern Region Mini I-corps Program' on the 24th, which will run until September 15, with prospective startup teams and related personnel from universities in the southeastern region attending.

From August 24 to 25, a boot camp was held at the Busan Aqua Palace Hotel, followed by an Interview Period from August 26 to September 14, concluding on September 15.

The boot camp is the initial stage marking the start of the 2020 Southeastern Region Mini I-corps Program. Instructor Park Jeong-bae, CEO in charge of planning and managing startup education for the southeastern region, and Professor Lee Heung-sik from Joongbu University provided education on BMC (Business Model Canvas) and Customer Discovery.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, processes including interviews and feedback will be conducted in the form of webinars.

No Seong-yeo, Director of the Laboratory Startup Innovation Group at Dongmyung University, said, "We successfully held the boot camp and laid the foundation for the next stages," adding, "Since face-to-face interviews are conducted online due to COVID-19, we will strive to enhance program efficiency and the satisfaction of prospective startup teams."

The Southeastern Region Mini I-corps Program provides prospective startup teams in the southeastern region with a chance to directly experience the 'I-corps Program' in advance and serves as a process to discover excellent laboratory startup exploration teams for the following year.

The 'Public Technology-Based Market-Linked Startup Exploration Support Project (Korean-style I-corps Project)' is a program that helps various new research achievements held by universities and research institutes to be quickly utilized in the market.

It is a project benchmarked after the U.S. NSF (National Science Foundation) program that supports the commercialization of science and technology R&D, selecting laboratory startup teams and supporting them for one year, gradually expanding the scale of support.
