Applications on StartupPlus website until the 25th
Investment and comprehensive follow-up support for final selected companies

OB Beer announced on the 10th that it is recruiting participating companies for the new business and new technology presentation contest, ‘2023 Startup Meetup,’ aimed at discovering promising startups and supporting their growth in collaboration with Seoul Startup Hub.

The ‘Startup Meetup’ is a startup activation program that seeks win-win cooperation opportunities by sharing innovative business ideas and technologies through matching between companies and startups. This event, held as part of OB Beer’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management practice, started in 2019 and is now in its fifth year.

This year, the recruitment fields for the Startup Meetup are divided into four areas: ▲Eco-friendly & ESG ▲Tech & Artificial Intelligence (AI) ▲New Business Development ▲Logistics Automation & Work Efficiency. Applications can be submitted through the Startup Plus website until the 25th.

Selected companies will receive commercialization support funds for technology development and testbed support for pre-market launch prototype verification. Additionally, they will be provided with opportunities for commercialization (PoC) through collaboration with OB Beer affiliates, linkage to global expansion, and research & development (R&D) support.

OB Beer has established a cooperative system and maintained a win-win relationship with outstanding startups discovered through the Startup Meetup, such as ‘Reharvest,’ a food upcycling specialist company, and ‘Rapique,’ a green bio venture company. OB Beer plans to fulfill its social responsibility and continuously create synergy through collaboration with these startups.

An OB Beer official stated, “OB Beer consistently prepares programs where startups with innovative ideas can grow together with companies,” adding, “We will continue efforts to coexist with startups or small and medium-sized enterprises that possess outstanding technological capabilities.”
