The Startup Zone, located at the Corporate Support Hub in Pangyo 2nd Techno Valley, Sujeong-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, is the largest startup support cluster in Korea. It is equipped with shared resources and spaces for technical collaboration, including exchanges with resident companies, making it the optimal place to cooperate with startups.
