Dong-A University (President Lee Haewoo) and Dongseo University (President Jang Jeguk) signed a business agreement with Busan Economic Promotion Agency (Director Song Bokcheol) on the 12th to promote the "Glocal University 30 Project."

The signing ceremony, held at the main conference room of Dong-A University's Seunghak Campus, was attended by President Lee, President Jang, Director Song, Dong-A University Student and Employment Support Office Director Shin Yongtaek (Head of University Job Plus Center), Planning Office Director Noh Youngjin, Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation Director Kim Sungjae, Dongseo University Vice President for Academic Affairs Nam Hosu, Student and Employment Support Office Director Jeong Dowoon, Busan Economic Promotion Agency Industrial Development Support Team Director Oh Jihwan, Employment Support Team Director Kwon Jaehyun, and other officials from the three organizations.

Through this agreement, Dong-A University, Dongseo University, and Busan Economic Promotion Agency will cooperate on the selection and promotion of the "Glocal University 30 Project," the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and local industries, and the advancement of the startup innovation ecosystem.

Busan Economic Promotion Agency is a non-profit foundation established by Busan Metropolitan City and the Small and Medium Business Administration to provide services needed by small business owners and SMEs in Busan. Through comprehensive and systematic support for companies based in Busan, it contributes to improving the management environment and strengthening the competitiveness of local businesses.

President Lee stated, "The operation of the 'profit-oriented integrated industrial complex' for the official designation of the Glocal University 30 by the Dong-A and Dongseo University alliance is to create conditions for university and corporate co-growth and youth employment, thereby preventing the outflow of outstanding talents. Ultimately, the key principle is the 'development of Busan.' I hope this agreement will become a new first step for Busan's progress."

President Jang said, "The support of Busan Economic Promotion Agency will play a significant role in establishing the 'Field (On-site) Campus,' which breaks the boundaries of space, system, and personnel in the 'Open UFG (Univ./Field/Global) Campus' pursued by the Dong-A and Dongseo University alliance. We will do our best to foster the talent needed by the region."

Director Song responded, "I would like to thank Dong-A University and Dongseo University for organizing this meaningful occasion. I sincerely congratulate the two universities on their preliminary designation as a model for the Glocal University 30, and I will actively support their official designation so that it can serve as a foundation for Busan's development. Let us join forces among universities, companies, and Busan Economic Promotion Agency to solve the issues of regional economic development and youth job creation."
