The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 19th that it has selected 20 startups to showcase solutions to problems presented by large corporations at the final stage of the first 'Dae-Star Solver Platform' contest.


The Dae-Star Solver Platform is a policy initiative aimed at creating an ecosystem where large corporations and startups can grow together through open innovation.


The first phase of the Dae-Star Solver Platform, which began on June 7, is a contest where startups solve problem tasks presented by large corporations, focusing on three major areas requiring collaborative division of labor between large corporations and startups. A total of 53 startups participated, and through a first round of document evaluation and a second round of in-depth face-to-face evaluation by task, 20 startups were selected.


The 20 finalists include startups that have secured eco-friendly biodegradable packaging technology, companies that have developed ad fraud prevention and ad effectiveness collection services, companies that have developed services to identify prohibited items on aircraft, and startups possessing brainwave analysis technology for new product planning.


The final competition will grant the selected 20 startups up to two months to refine their problem-solving methods, with consulting and mentoring from demand companies and related experts, and is scheduled to be held in October. The technology and ideas of the final winner will be revealed to the public at the ComeUp event in November.



In this contest, up to three startups per task will be selected based on collaboration with demand large corporations. The selected startups can receive up to 2.5 billion KRW in government support, including commercialization support (100 million KRW), technology development (up to 400 million KRW), and technology special guarantee (up to 2 billion KRW), as well as opportunities to jointly pursue business with large corporations and expand globally using overseas networks.
