Pukyong National University operates this project under the supervision of the Graduate School of Technology Management (Dean Lee Woon-sik), and in this evaluation, which determines continued support annually based on results, the project not only secured continuation but also received an increased national budget compared to the previous year.

The university was recognized for its excellent achievements in solving technology commercialization issues for local companies by conducting various industry-academia cooperation projects and hosting events such as the “Family Company Day.”

The Graduate School of Technology Management at Pukyong National University provides integrated support project information necessary for the growth of local SMEs and startups through its unique industry-academia cooperation platform brands, the “iDRAGON Platform” and the “iDRAGON Forum,” and shares success stories of promising startups.

Additionally, the Graduate School of Technology Management at Pukyong National University and the Department of Technology Management at Gyeongsang National University jointly established and operated a co-learning course in the second semester of 2022, and were highly evaluated for attracting the “Entrepreneurship and Startup Education Center” from Busan City. Notably, the record-high enrollment of master’s and doctoral students in the first semester of this year also had a significant impact on this evaluation.

Dean Lee Woon-sik stated, “Based on our experience and evaluation in operating non-degree programs and project execution, we will continue to expand cooperation with technology management education institutions in the southeastern region such as Gyeongsang National University and UNIST to strengthen the convergence technology commercialization ecosystem in the region and do our best to nurture innovative talents needed by the local community.”
