It supports the entire lab startup process for university laboratories with promising startup technologies, including ▲ commercialization of R&D achievements (R&BD), ▲ establishment of business models, and ▲ technology advancement and market entry.


Only eight universities nationwide, including Soongsil University, Seoul National University, and Korea University, have been named as exclusive-type universities. The project will run for a total of one year and nine months, from April this year to December next year.
