This nationwide startup competition is hosted by the Ministry of Education and organized by the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Korea Entrepreneurship Foundation for Youth. Sun Moon University achieved outstanding results in the "Growth Track (A)" category, with four teams selected among the 50 final teams from the Chungcheong region.

Out of the five teams that participated, four advanced to the finals-a remarkable achievement attributed to the focused consulting and systematic support provided by the Startup Education Center. The teams advancing to the finals are the startup clubs Symter, sAI, and TOOTHer, as well as the joint club OCIAL.

Kwon Jinbaek, head of the RISE Project Group, emphasized, "This achievement is the result of the students' continuous efforts," and added, "We will continue to develop step-by-step entrepreneurship education and strive to foster outstanding entrepreneurial talent and spread a culture of student entrepreneurship, so that the university can serve as a new bridgehead for startups."
