Daejeon City Begins Construction of 'Daejeon Startup Open Space'... Scheduled for Completion in 2024

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is set to begin the creation of the Daejeon Startup Open Space. This space will serve as an anchor building playing a central role in the five startup towns currently under development.

According to the city on the 24th, the Daejeon Startup Open Space will have a total floor area of 11,592㎡, with two basement levels and four above-ground floors, and is scheduled for completion in October 2024.

The building will be equipped with 30 startup company office spaces, community facilities such as a startup park, and a re-challenge innovation campus space capable of providing consulting and education.

The city expects that once the Daejeon Startup Open Space is completed, it will play a role in creating an entrepreneur village and street connecting Chungnam National University and KAIST, and will establish itself as a landmark symbolizing startups in the Gung-dong and Eoeun-dong areas.

Previously, since 2020, the city has been planning the creation of the Startup Open Space to provide startup spaces.

Currently, in the 1st Town, there are three D-Bridge buildings developed by the city, Tipstown, one KT Bridge Lab building developed by KT, and three Shinhan Square Bridge buildings developed by Shinhan Financial Group, all providing office spaces for startups.

Lee Jang-woo, Mayor of Daejeon, stated, “We will spare no support to ensure that a unicorn company representing the region can be born from the Daejeon Startup Open Space.”
