Paju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Kim Kyung-il) announced on the 22nd that it held a plaque ceremony on the 21st at the Paju Youth Startup Support Center to announce its selection as a 'Gyeonggi-do Designated Startup Innovation Space.'

The 'Gyeonggi-do Designated Startup Innovation Space,' hosted by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, is a project to establish more than 20 startup spaces within Gyeonggi-do to build a startup ecosystem.

Paju City applied for the 'Startup Innovation Space Contest' to support the growth of early-stage startups with potential and has been working to explain the necessity of the project and secure selection in the contest.

As a result, after being selected in the 'Startup Innovation Space Contest' on July 26, the city secured project funds, enabling it to provide practical assistance to young entrepreneurs and support the transformation of innovative ideas and technologies into businesses.

The Paju Youth Startup Support Center, designated as a Gyeonggi-do Designated Startup Innovation Space, is expected to serve as a hub for the project and play a significant role in spreading the startup culture in the Paju area.

Opened in July, the Paju Youth Startup Support Center is a space for young (prospective) entrepreneurs interested in startups, consisting of a studio for photography and filming, classrooms, and shared offices for resident companies. The center plans to support the growth of early-stage startups by offering various programs such as one-on-one mentoring with experts in each field and step-by-step startup education.

Mayor Kim Kyung-il of Paju said, “We will continue to provide unwavering support so that the Paju Youth Startup Support Center can offer practical help to young entrepreneurs lacking initial capital and develop into a hub for youth startup growth.”
