On the 27th at 1:30 PM, Busan City will hold a demonstration day (Demo Day) and graduation ceremony for the Google Startup Campus 'Startup School Busan' at the Busan Eurasia Platform 'B-StartUp Station.'
The event will be conducted in two parts: Part 1 is the demonstration day (Demo Day), and Part 2 is the graduation ceremony. Following presentations and evaluations by 10 companies in Part 1, about 100 attendees including Son Seong-eun, Busan City Financial Startup Policy Officer; Mike Kim, Head of Google Startup Campus Asia-Pacific; and Lee Ji-seon, CEO of Must Accelerator, will participate in Part 2, which will proceed with ▲Opening Ceremony ▲Introduction to the operation of ‘Startup School Busan’ ▲Graduation Ceremony celebration (Ceremony).
‘Startup School Busan’ is a startup participatory education program jointly operated by Busan City, Google Startup Campus, and Must Accelerator.
In April this year, Busan became the first region nationwide to introduce Google’s flagship startup program ‘Startup School,’ aiming to engage more than 1,000 participants twice a year (first and second half).
The first session was held from May 4th for 12 weeks every Thursday at the Busan Eurasia Platform, with over 500 participants including prospective entrepreneurs and local startups receiving Google’s technical solutions in leadership, artificial intelligence (AI), internet-based resource sharing (cloud), and cybersecurity.
This demonstration day (Demo Day) was organized to go beyond providing startup education programs by selecting 10 companies among the participants to support investment presentation solutions (IR solutions) for successful fundraising, and to facilitate startup investment presentations (IR pitching) and investor connections through the Demo Day.
Based on the successful launch of the first half program, the city plans to operate ‘Startup School Busan’ again in the second half of the year.
Similar to the first half, it will be held for 12 weeks at the Busan Eurasia Platform targeting local startups and prospective entrepreneurs, with the schedule and lecture topics to be finalized and announced by mid-August.
