[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 18th that it will develop a mobile app for the online startup support platform 'Gyeongnam Startup Portal,' which gathers startup-related information within the province in one place.

The Gyeongnam Startup Portal, which has been operating since last August, is a platform that consolidates information from over 50 startup support organizations and about 10 investment institutions scattered throughout the Gyeongnam region. In addition, it helps startups by connecting each institution with entrepreneurs.

However, the currently operating portal is only accessible via the internet web, requiring users to search for the site separately, causing inconvenience.

Accordingly, the province is promoting the development of a mobile app to enhance portal accessibility.

The app will provide users with real-time notifications of posts about support projects and event information they are interested in, push alarm services for support periods, and a simple application service for startup support projects to allow easy business applications via smartphones.

Additionally, it plans to expand personal mentoring functions through a mentoring board where users can consult experts about startup-related concerns, with notification services for new posts. Based on location-based services, users will be able to search for startup support institutions and makerspace locations nearby.

The province plans to complete the development of the Gyeongnam Startup Portal mobile app by the end of the year and, after reflecting user feedback through pilot operation, officially launch it early next year.
