[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] Hana Financial Group announced on the 22nd that it has selected Korea National University of Cultural Heritage, located in Buyeo, Chungnam, as the first institution for the 'Hana Social Venture University' project and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

Hana Social Venture University is a project selected by the Ministry of Employment and Labor as a 'Youth-Friendly Corporate ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Support' program. Through MOUs with regional hub universities, it supports youth entrepreneurship, builds an entrepreneurial ecosystem, and contributes to revitalizing the regional economy.

Through this MOU, Hana Financial plans to provide entrepreneurship support, education, and practical training linked to traditional culture.

By the first half of this year, Hana Financial will sign MOUs with 10 regional hub universities nationwide, including areas such as Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, Gangwon, and Seoul, and promote support projects to create jobs for youth.

Ham Young-joo, Chairman of Hana Financial Group, said, "Recently, due to a lack of jobs, young people have concentrated in the metropolitan area, causing regional population decline to emerge as a new social issue. Through this program, we will take the lead in inheriting regional traditional culture, creating various jobs, and revitalizing the regional economy."
