Honam University Department of Visual Convergence Design "Confirmed Possibility of Employment and Startups in Singapore"

The 'Hokraki Team,' composed of students from the Department of Visual Convergence Design at Honam University, participated in the Honam University Global Education Travel Program for 5 nights and 6 days from the 24th to the 29th, visiting Singapore.

Among various local programs in Singapore, the Hokraki Team explored the site of the Singapore K-Startup Center on the 27th.

At the Singapore K-Startup Center located in Marina One West Tower in Singapore's financial district, students were able to confirm the potential for employment and entrepreneurship locally, and also received education on the organizational structure and culture of an ideal global startup, including the role of design.

The K-Startup Center functions as a hub that strengthens the linkage between domestic and international startup support policies and connects promising Korean startups to overseas markets.

Through inter-business connections, it provides package support including domestic and international VC and large corporate networks, local acceleration, etc., in stages of ‘market entry - market settlement - scale-up.’

Additionally, the K-Startup Center is being established not only in Singapore but also in Seattle, USA; Paris, France; and Hanoi, China. It operates by comprehensively considering each country's startup ecosystem, policy directions, and relevant officials, selecting specialized industries for each center by reflecting regional market characteristics and policy agendas.

Student An Sun-young expressed, “I am very grateful to have been able to confirm the opportunities and possibilities of becoming a global designer in Singapore, and I will do my best to become a world-class designer.”
