Gyeongnam Jeongbodae Selected for Leading University Project in Startup Education Innovation

Gyeongnam Information University has been selected for the ‘Startup Education Innovation Leading University (SCOUT)’ project, organized by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.

The Startup Education Innovation Leading University project expands the existing startup education hub universities to establish a regional startup education foundation and create a collaboration system with local governments, fostering universities as the central hubs of startup education in their communities.

Gyeongnam Information University formed an alliance with Ulsan College of Science, Geoje University, Gyeongnam Provincial Geochang College, and Masan University, and was selected in the southeastern region among national junior colleges. Notably, this junior college alliance was selected for the first time this year and received excellent evaluations for programs such as the regional settlement-type entrepreneur discovery program.

The university alliances selected as Startup Education Innovation Leading Universities will sign a business agreement in July and then begin full-scale project implementation.

Kim Dae-sik, president of Gyeongnam Information University, said, “Startup education is an important element of university education and a key factor in enhancing national competitiveness. We will develop the university dynamically and proactively through startups in collaboration with the local community.”
