[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 1st that it will hold the ‘2021 Daejeon Small Business Startup Expo’ online from the 1st to the 12th.

The expo will be conducted by operating four halls: ‘Startup Information Hall,’ ‘Startup Support Hall,’ ‘Ontong Daejeon Hall,’ and ‘Event Hall.’

The Startup Information Hall is a place that provides startup information of local companies, where franchise companies, social and village enterprises, and regionally specialized advanced companies in information and communication technology and software participate to introduce successful model cases such as one-person startups.

The Startup Support Hall offers free startup aptitude tests to guide the startup procedures and help select startup items that suit one’s aptitude. It also shares information on rental facilities where startup spaces can be provided free of charge, essential commercial district information for small business startups, and floating population analysis data.

At the Ontong Daejeon Hall, an event encouraging participation in the Ontong Sale event and promotion of Ontong Daejeon affiliated stores during the expo period will be held, and 200 participants in the expo survey will be selected by lottery to receive 10,000 won worth of Ontong Daejeon points.

The Event Hall is designed to meet the demands of prospective entrepreneurs and help lead to practical startups by providing consulting related to management and finance as well as educational programs for prospective entrepreneurs.

Until now, the Small Business Startup Expo has been held offline every year. However, this year, considering the COVID-19 situation, it will be held online in a non-face-to-face manner. The city’s plan is to maximize the sense of presence as if visiting the actual expo hall within a 3D space even online.

Through this, the city plans to contribute to revitalizing the local economy by presenting various startup models to expo participants, early settlement of small business startups, and income increase through job creation.

Ko Hyun-deok, Director of the City’s Job and Economy Bureau, said, “We will welcome expo participants with programs that can practically help startups beyond simply introducing startup items and procedures,” and added, “We ask for the interest and participation of many prospective entrepreneurs.”
