Affordable Office Rent and Startup Education Support for Prospective and Early Entrepreneurs
Recruitment for Remaining 4 Units Scheduled for Mid-February

Promising startup companies are gathering at the Small and Medium Business 1st Startup Incubation Center within Seed Cube Changdong.

Since the launch of the 8th Minseon administration, Dobong-gu has been focusing its administrative efforts on establishing a stable foundation for startups and increasing their success rates.

Dobong-gu (Mayor Oh Eon-seok) announced that it has expanded and relocated the Small and Medium Business 1st Startup Incubation Center to the 5th-floor office space of 'Seed Cube Changdong' and has been providing a pleasant and efficient working environment to the startups that moved in from February 1st.

The Startup Incubation Center is a space that supports prospective and early-stage entrepreneurs by offering office space at affordable rent and startup education.

The district plans to prioritize companies in new industry startup fields such as artificial intelligence, immersive content, and smart cities for admission to the newly established incubation center, aiming to make the center a Dobong-gu business cluster that attracts and nurtures future industries.

Previously, the district conducted a two-week recruitment targeting small and medium-sized enterprise founders established less than seven years ago for a total of eight rooms. After deliberation by the Small and Medium Business Startup Incubation Center Operations Committee, four companies were finally selected.

The main businesses of the selected promising companies include ▲next-generation BIT (Bus Information Terminal) ▲XR·VR immersive content ▲AI lighting development ▲mobility platform development for the visually impaired.

Additional recruitment for the remaining four rooms will be held from February 15 to 29. Companies wishing to move in can apply by visiting the 6th floor Regional Economy Division of Dobong-gu Office or by registered mail with the required documents.

Resident companies will be finally selected through a first-stage document evaluation and a second-stage presentation evaluation. The residency period is two years, with a one-time extension of one year possible, just like the previously selected companies.
