[Asia Economy (Namyangju) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kyungbok University has signed a strategic partnership with Shinhan Bank to support student startups.

According to the agreement, the two institutions will closely cooperate in ▲ providing preferential interest rate services to entrepreneurs at Kyungbok University's Entrepreneurship Startup Support Center and incubating companies at the Startup Incubation Center ▲ promoting Shinhan Bank products and services to support student startups at Kyungbok University ▲ and other mutually agreed tasks.

Kim Kyung-bok, Acting President of Kyungbok University, said, "Although our university has a high employment rate, support for student startups has been relatively insufficient, so we have been considering ways to revitalize startups at the university level. We are pleased to sign a startup support agreement with Shinhan Bank." He emphasized, "To revitalize startups, first, the school must make efforts to cultivate students' entrepreneurial mindset; second, students' startup ideas are essential; and third, financial support from society is necessary."

He added, "We hope that Shinhan Bank will provide various financial services with a mindset of coexistence and mutual growth, creating an opportunity to further foster students' startup and entrepreneurial mindsets."

Kyungbok University ranked first in integrated employment rate among metropolitan area universities (with over 2,000 graduates) for four consecutive years from 2017 to 2020, according to the Ministry of Education, and in 2020, it ranked first nationwide in employment rate among four-year universities and colleges (with over 2,000 graduates).
