[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Gyeonggi Province will newly promote the 'Gyeonggi Startup Hub Operation Project,' which reorganizes the Gyeonggi Startup Campus as an offline hub for startup support facilities within the province starting this year.

This is part of the 'Gyeonggi-type K-Startup Support Strategy' announced in December last year, aiming to improve the efficiency of startup support by integrating programs of individually operated startup facilities.

According to the province on the 8th, this year, integrated programs such as 'Startup Education,' 'Demo Day & Company Presentation,' and 'Networking' will be operated for resident companies in startup support facilities and members registered on the startup platform.

In particular, the province plans to regionalize and create a system for linkage and cooperation among 21 offline startup support facilities, including the Venture Startup Support Center, centered on the Startup Campus, expanding opportunities for exchange among startups in each facility.

In the 'Startup Education' field, customized step-by-step programs such as basic startup education, practical training, and core technology education will be provided to about 300 prospective (early-stage) entrepreneurs to strengthen practical capabilities and expertise in innovation technology-based startups.

In 'Demo Day & Company Presentation,' support will be provided to 10 startup companies through consultations and coaching with domestic and international investment experts, investment attraction strategy education, and global day events to enhance market development and investment attraction capabilities.

Outstanding startups at the Global Day will also receive benefits such as commercialization support and participation in overseas conferences.

In the 'Networking' field, programs such as integrated networking, specialized and customized networking, and startup forums will be conducted to create opportunities for startup companies, related organizations, and experts to share information and collaborate.

Park Sang-deok, Head of Startup Support Division, said, "We will create a proactive startup ecosystem that responds to the rapidly changing economic environment," adding, "We will strive to create a convergent and symbiotic startup environment where startups share information and resources centered on the startup hub."
