Hanseo University Successfully Completes 'Hana Social Venture University' Entrepreneurship Education

Hanseo University conducted an educational program to nurture entrepreneurs targeting local youth.

The Hanseo University LINC 3.0 Project Group operated the ‘Hana Social Venture University Entrepreneurship Education’ from July 2 to 25 in the large lecture hall on the 4th floor of the Simwoon Building at Hanseo University as part of the 2024 Youth Work Experience Support Project (ESG Support Type) for local youth and enrolled students.

Hana Social Venture University is a project prepared in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Hana Financial Group, Underdogs, and 30 base universities nationwide to discover and nurture local youth entrepreneurs, establish a local startup ecosystem, and promote regional settlement entrepreneurship.

Hanseo University was selected as a base university in the Chungcheong region for two consecutive years and operated an entrepreneurship education support project. This year, practical coaching-based specialized entrepreneurship education and customized consulting were provided to a total of 12 teams with entrepreneurship facilitators, and 43 local youths completed the program and are expected to receive a participation allowance of 500,000 KRW.

The project group also linked follow-up projects such as global entrepreneurship training (USA) for students participating in the entrepreneurship education.

At the performance presentation and completion ceremony held the previous day, local officials, startup support organizations, and current startup CEOs, among other experts in related fields, attended. They comprehensively evaluated perspectives as entrepreneurs, revenue models, business strategies, and impact, and selected two outstanding teams per university (a total of 60 excellent startup teams from 30 base universities nationwide). The outstanding startup teams will be provided with vouchers worth approximately 3 million KRW for customer validation in the market and the opportunity to participate in the final performance sharing event with a total prize of 150 million KRW.

The dedicated department, the LINC 3.0 Enterprise Support Center, produced entrepreneurs by providing tailored support at each growth stage through follow-up management for teams that completed the program last year. Among them, the Logy team (Hong Taeksu and Guk Hyunwoo from the Department of Aviation Software Engineering, supervised by Professor Song Seongil) achieved excellent results, including being selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ ‘2024 Preliminary Startup Package Project.’

Song Seongil, head of the Enterprise Support Center, said, "We will spare no effort to discover and nurture local youth entrepreneurs to contribute to solving the realistic problem of regional extinction, and we will prepare follow-up support programs at the Enterprise Support Center level."
