This event was held as part of the content startup accelerating program 'Content Startup Scale-up.'

About 77 people attended the event held on the 27th, including 25 lead mentors and 52 mentee startups. Before the full-scale operation of the growth support program, the business directions and goals of the mentee companies were shared, and information was exchanged among companies.

The mentors consisted of 25 content industry experts, including accelerators who are early investors in the content field, representatives of large corporations promoting content investment and open innovation, and executives who have led the growth of large-scale content startups.

The mentees were selected from a wide range of growth stages, from very early-stage startups in their first year to mid-stage startups in their seventh year, across various fields such as games, animation, music, characters, advertising, and content solutions.

Mentee companies receive broad support throughout the entire commercialization process, including consulting, mentoring, IR, business matching, and promotional marketing tailored to their growth stage and business characteristics, as well as legal, patent, and investment attraction support.

Yoo Yun-ok, Head of the Content-Based Division at the Korea Creative Content Agency, said, "We hope that convergent content startups leading the future of the content industry will establish a foundation for sustainable growth through close cooperation with experts," and added, "We will continue to provide systematic support so that K-content startups can thrive on the global stage."
