[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jung] Changeup Ground, a large-scale venture incubation space created by POSCO, announced on the 28th that it held a Love Blood Donation Bus campaign.

This blood donation campaign was organized on the 25th to help stabilize the blood supply amid difficulties caused by a sharp decline in group blood donations due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

On that day, more than 50 people, including POSCO employees working at Changeup Ground, tenant companies, affiliates, and POSTECH students, visited the blood donation bus to practice sharing life. POSCO encouraged blood donation by holding an event offering various prizes such as Bluetooth speakers and radios through a raffle for participants.

Jang Siyong, leader of POSCO's Win-Win Growth Group, who participated in his 30th blood donation through the campaign, said, "I have been regularly donating blood after hearing about the serious shortage of blood in Korea, and it is even more meaningful to share the joy of blood donation with employees and tenant companies through the 'Love Blood Donation Bus' campaign."

Going forward, Changeup Ground plans to work with POSTECH to conduct regular monthly volunteer activities to support practicing love for neighbors.

Jo Eun-gu, head of POSCO's Win-Win Growth Group in charge of operating Changeup Ground, said, "The blood donation campaign is the easiest and most certain volunteer activity to practice sharing life and love for neighbors, so we held the 'Love Blood Donation Bus' event with the hearts of everyone working at Changeup Ground," adding, "POSCO Changeup Ground will do its best to create a warm society where everyone can grow together."

Meanwhile, Changeup Ground, a venture incubation space established by POSCO to create local jobs and revitalize the regional economy, is emerging as a domestic venture hub beyond Pohang City just eight months after its opening. Currently, 81 companies are tenants at Changeup Ground. The corporate value of the tenant companies is estimated to exceed 700 billion KRW.
