Dobong-gu to Create 'Youth Startup Space'... Recruiting Tenants Until the 20th

Operating as a Startup Support Hub Until the Opening of 'Dongbuk Innovation Park' in November... Providing Startup Education and One-on-One Management Consulting with Experts

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) is creating a space for young entrepreneurs.

The location of the youth startup activity hub is the former site of Dobong Fire Academy.

The district has transformed the 3rd floor of the Dobong Fire Academy Structural Rescue Training Center (666 Dobong-ro, Dobong-gu) into a space for young entrepreneurs.

Opening this November, the space covers 659.6㎡ and includes 10 startup incubation rooms, a shared training room, and meeting rooms. It will operate as a hub supporting youth startups until the 'Northeast Innovation Park' is established.

In particular, it will provide startup education and one-on-one management consulting using experts, offering necessary information and consulting from the idea conception stage to business implementation.

Any prospective young entrepreneur who wants to prepare for a startup here can apply if they are a resident of Dobong-gu. Local youth who have started a business within the last 3 years are also eligible.

The application deadline is October 20.

Applicants can download the application form and business plan from the Dobong-gu Office website and submit them by mail (Education Support Division Youth Policy Team, Dobong-gu Office, 656 Madeul-ro, Dobong-gu) or email (chaean789@dobong.go.kr) to the person in charge.

Residents will be selected through an open recruitment process. The plan is to select young entrepreneurs and prospective entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas and concrete business execution and development plans.

After document and interview evaluations, 10 final residents and 2 prospective residents will be selected. The results will be announced on the district website in early November.

Selected teams (companies) will receive ▲startup space provision ▲public operation cost support ▲networking among residents. Additionally, collaboration with the Seoul Credit Guarantee Foundation will be sought for further support measures.

Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, stated, “Creating a startup hub centered on youth in Dobong will not only revitalize the local economy but also help create jobs for young people. Although this space is available until the 'Northeast Innovation Park' is established, we will spare no support to ensure that local youth can nurture their startup dreams and grow their businesses here.”
