[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] On the 18th, a food service business support center for young entrepreneurs opened in Songdo International City, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.

The center is equipped with 10 delivery-specialized shared kitchens, offices, and community spaces.

Yeonsu-gu received 300 million KRW in national funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to carry out a project to create a shared space for food service startups.

Ten entrepreneurs selected through a preliminary screening process will receive support through the center not only for space but also for kitchen equipment, practical training for discovering food service-related ideas, menu development consulting, and business promotion.

The district plans to create a distinctive food culture space based on the sharing economy through this project, providing growth opportunities for young people aspiring to start businesses and promoting youth job creation.

In the future, besides center participants, various food service startup projects such as startup incubating, cooking classes, and practical training will be offered for young people and residents dreaming of food service entrepreneurship.

At the center opening ceremony, Go Nam-seok, mayor of Yeonsu-gu, stated, "Through the center, we will support the growth of young entrepreneurs and also promote various policies to create quality youth jobs and revitalize food culture."
