[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] A Boom-up Festival to share the achievements of Incheon Startup Park and support startups with demonstration, investment, and global expansion will be held on the 30th.

The event, hosted by the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority and Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP), will be held both online (via metaverse and YouTube streaming) and offline, with the metaverse platform newly introduced to revitalize the non-face-to-face industry.

The metaverse is a compound word of the English word "Meta," meaning "virtual" or "transcend," and "Universe," meaning cosmos, referring to a three-dimensional virtual world where social, economic, and cultural activities similar to the real world take place.

By participating in the Boom-up Festival, you can experience the achievements of Korea's first innovative startup cluster, "Incheon Startup Park," and innovative products and services of startups in the metaverse space.

Also featured are the "Startup Innovation Growth Demonstration Talk Show," discussing demonstration support cases and future directions of Incheon Startup Park, keynote speeches, exhibitions of excellent startup products and services, and the Spark IR event matching startups with investors.

The talk show, themed "Complete Startup Innovation Growth through Demonstration and Challenge the Global Market," will be attended by representatives from the Korea International Trade Association, National IT Industry Promotion Agency, Inha University Hospital, and Incheon Urban Corporation.

The keynote speeches will be delivered by Kim Taewon, an executive of a global IT company, on "The 4th Industrial Revolution and Creative Innovation: What Makes the Difference in the Future?" and Professor Seokyungdeok from Sungshin Women's University on "Courage and the Spirit of Challenge Make a Global Leader."

The metaverse exhibition hall will offer guided tours three times for pre-registered participants. Applications are available on the Incheon Startup Park website until the 24th, and real-time viewing is also possible on the Incheon Startup Park YouTube channel.

Lee Wonjae, head of the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority, said, "Incheon Startup Park has achieved results in demonstration projects supporting technology commercialization through verification of innovative products and services in just over a year since its opening," adding, "We hope this event will confirm and share the achievements made by Incheon Startup Park."

Meanwhile, Incheon Startup Park, officially opened in February this year in Songdo International City within the Incheon Free Economic Zone, is a startup cluster space where innovators such as entrepreneurs, investors, universities, and research institutions network in an open space through public-private collaboration.

It provides an efficient development environment and demonstration support for startups through IoT (Internet of Things) test fields, AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) demonstration support labs, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

So far, it has supported over 400 startups in smart city and bio-convergence fields based on 4th Industrial Revolution technologies and attracted investments exceeding 60 billion KRW, achieving significant results.
