[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Tongyeong City in Gyeongnam is collaborating with Inje University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation to officially launch the 'Tongyeong City Middle-aged and Senior Technology Startup Center' starting from the 19th.

The center plans to lead the creation of a startup atmosphere among middle-aged and senior individuals in the region and revitalize the startup ecosystem by supporting startup education, expert consultation, networking, and providing office space.

The location is within the Tongyeong Restart Platform, where part of the facility was remodeled before moving in, and until 2023, it will receive 240 million KRW, which is 80% of the startup center operation budget, as national funding from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

Additionally, since the center will be re-designated every three years through operational status and performance evaluations, it is expected to play a significant role as a professional and sustainable startup support facility that drives the leap of startup companies.

Mayor Kang Seok-ju said, "I hope the Middle-aged and Senior Technology Startup Center will become a stepping stone for prospective middle-aged entrepreneurs with technology and ideas to successfully establish their startups stably."
