[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Local company Daeseon Joojo has rolled up its sleeves to nurture talent that will contribute to the future development of science and technology in the Republic of Korea.

Daeseon Joojo (CEO Jo Woo-hyun) announced on the 17th that it has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Korea Science Academy Scholarship Support Association for the eighth consecutive year.

The Korea Science Academy (KSA), affiliated with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), was launched in 2003 as the first science academy for gifted students in Korea and has been leading gifted science education in the country.

Daeseon Joojo, together with its parent company BNG Group, has been providing scholarships to the Korea Science Academy annually since 2014. The total amount of scholarships provided so far has reached 105 million KRW.

This year, Daeseon Joojo also decided to donate 15 million KRW in scholarships to the Korea Science Academy. To prevent COVID-19, the sponsorship agreement was signed non-face-to-face without a separate event.

The Korea Science Academy expressed gratitude for the support, stating, "Students feel a sense of responsibility for the development of science in our country and are focusing on their studies."

Daeseon Joojo CEO Jo Woo-hyun said, "Despite the difficulties caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, I hope students do not lose hope and continue to devote themselves to their studies," adding, "We will support them to grow into talented individuals who can have a positive influence in the future."

Additionally, Daeseon Joojo has been awarding the 'Daeseon Scholarship' for 14 consecutive years to local university students majoring in social welfare through the Daeseon Public Interest Foundation, and since 2018, it has continued to support promising domestic baseball players through the 'Daeseon (大鮮) High School Choi Dong-won Award,' demonstrating its commitment to nurturing future talent.
