The Korea Venture Business Association announced that it has completed all schedules of the "21st Venture Summer Forum," held from the 23rd to this day at Jeonju Hanok Village in Jeonbuk.

With the theme "With Ggang, With Persistence, With Dreams, With Venture," this year's forum was attended by about 300 people, including venture company CEOs and executives, government ministry officials, and related organization representatives. The program was designed for all participants to engage in practicing entrepreneurial spirit of "growing together," sharing business information, and exchanging experiences.

There was also advice from first-generation venture entrepreneurs. On the 23rd, Byeon Daegyu, Chairman of Humax Holdings, delivered the keynote speech titled "Entrepreneur - Understanding Change and the Future of the National Economy," and on the 24th, Nam Minwoo, Chairman of Dasan Group, gave a breakfast special lecture on "Growth Strategies and Entrepreneurial Spirit of First-Generation Venture Entrepreneurs." Additionally, lectures such as "Domestic and International Venture Capital (VC) Investment Environment and Strategies" by Kim Jeuk, Vice President of Atinum Investment, followed.

The Korea Venture Business Association explained, "Through lectures by senior venture entrepreneurs and industry experts, we provided an opportunity for in-depth consideration of strategic directions that venture companies should take in the future, including global expansion, venture investment markets and opportunities, and the development direction of big tech artificial intelligence (AI) companies."

At this forum, participants were divided into groups from the start based on "Ggang," "Persistence," and "Dreams" to facilitate networking. A venture company CEO from the Jeonnam region said, "Until now, we mostly worked together only within our regions, but meeting people from different regions broadens our horizons."

Before the closing ceremony, a Jeonbuk regional session was held to explore development strategies for revitalizing the Jeonbuk venture and startup ecosystem.

In his closing remarks, Lee Inho, Chairman of the Jeonbuk branch of the Korea Venture Business Association, emphasized, "If the entrepreneurial spirit of 'growing together' declared at this forum is well implemented, the domestic venture ecosystem will be further revitalized, allowing Korean venture companies to grow together and become a solid pillar leading the digital economy through ventures."
