The ESG Economic Support Center in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Ilpyeong Lee) is hosting the ‘2024 ESG Ideathon’ to collect creative ideas that solve everyday local issues.

An ‘Ideathon’ is a combination of the words idea and marathon, referring to a competition where teams generate and present ideas within a limited time.

The recruitment fields are divided into free topics such as climate crisis response, housing welfare, urban regeneration, safety, youth, and women, as well as specialized topics like resident job creation and community care.

Applicants must be individuals or teams residing or active in Dongdaemun-gu. For the representative applicant, proof of residency or living area in Dongdaemun-gu must be submitted.

Residents wishing to participate can apply through the ESG Economic Support Center website by the 22nd of this month, and three teams will be selected through document screening at the end of the month.

The selected teams will work with expert mentors to refine their ideas and engage in team activities. They will present at the final results sharing session at the end of April, followed by an awards ceremony. A total prize of approximately 1,000,000 KRW will be awarded to the three teams.
