‘Daejeon Bio Venture Open Lab’ Opens, Fostering and Supporting Resident Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Daejeon Bio Venture Open Lab (hereinafter Open Lab) has been inaugurated. The Open Lab is expected to serve as a stepping stone for the focused development of the bio industry, which Daejeon City has identified as one of its four core strategic industries.

The city announced on the 26th that it held the opening ceremony of the Open Lab at the Daejeon Bio Venture Town in Jeonmin-dong, Yuseong-gu.

The Open Lab was established within the Daejeon Bio Venture Town and is equipped with office spaces for resident companies (4 rooms), meeting rooms (2 rooms), and a shared laboratory (1 room).

The city created the Open Lab on a pilot basis to ensure the stable operation of the planned '(tentative name) Daejeon Bio Startup Center,' which aims to support local bio startup companies.

After recruiting resident companies next month, the Open Lab will be used as a space where resident companies can freely use laboratories and expensive research equipment.

Resident companies will receive customized support programs from Daejeon Technopark and have opportunities to share business operation know-how from senior companies located in the Daejeon Bio Venture Town.

Meanwhile, the city is currently promoting the construction project of the '(tentative name) Daejeon Bio Startup Center' to lay the foundation for growth in the bio sector.

The '(tentative name) Daejeon Bio Startup Center' will be equipped with a shared equipment room, resident spaces (40 rooms), a shared open lab, meeting rooms (2 rooms), and offices for partner organizations, and is scheduled to begin operation in 2026.
