Gyeongbuk Technopark (President Ha Inseong, Gyeongbuk TP) announced on October 1 that it had successfully hosted the "Gyeongbuk Youth Startup Investment Consultation (IR & NETWORK)" at the Ladies Hall of the main building of the Inter-Burgo Hotel in Daegu.

This event was organized to expand investment opportunities for youth startups in the Gyeongbuk region and to strengthen networking with investment experts from both the Seoul metropolitan area and local regions.

The consultation, held on September 26, featured a total of eight companies: four supported by the Gyeongbuk Youth Startup JUMP-UP Support Program, two from the Gyeongbuk Youth CEO Intensive & Fostering Support Program, and two resident companies from the Gyeongbuk Youth Startup Support Center. These companies presented their business models, growth strategies, and investment attraction plans.

During the event, the following companies participated in IR pitching: Decomposition Co., Ltd. (CEO Choi Myunghyun), Muge Smart Agriculture (CEO Ryu Hanwoong), Revit Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Jungmin), RP Mobility (CEO Kim Wonyoung), Narobos (CEO Hwang Younggwang), Taesan Trading (CEO Noh Wonjun), Creamoff Co., Ltd. (CEO Kwon Dohyuk), and Sejemall (CEO Yeon Eungjoon).

All of these are promising youth companies in the province, showcasing growth potential across a variety of industries. The participating companies shared their achievements and visions in fields such as AI data analysis, smart agriculture, mobility solutions, eco-friendly distribution, and the pet industry.

Investors included iM Investment Partners, Y&Archer Co., Ltd., Gyeongbuk Center for Creative Economy and Innovation, SAGKOREA, DQube Labs Co., Ltd., and TBIZ Co., Ltd. Various investors such as VCs, ACs, and angel investors participated according to the companies' investment stages, thoroughly reviewing the IR presentations and conducting investment consultations on site.

The Gyeongbuk Youth Startup Support Center, which organized the event, facilitated customized one-on-one meetings between companies and investors immediately after the event. This helped early-stage startups overcome investment challenges and increased the likelihood of securing actual funding.

Choi Myunghyun, CEO of Decomposition Co., Ltd., a startup specializing in microplastic detection and removal and plastic-degrading microorganism-based technology, stated, "This IR pitching was not only an opportunity to attract investment but also a chance to meet potential collaboration partners. Through this event, we connected with investors and even exchanged detailed business plans and strategies."

Decomposition launched the integrated brand 5mm (Omiri) for microplastic detection and removal solutions last month and is commercializing solutions for detecting micro/nanoplastics in the blood and removing microplastics from the body.

The company is preparing to launch the world's first internal microplastic detox product in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Ha Inseong, President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, commented, "This consultation went beyond a simple IR presentation; it was a venue where startups could receive direct advice from investors on investment strategies and directions, and discuss concrete investment terms and collaboration possibilities. We will continue to operate various programs to actively connect Gyeongbuk youth startups with investment networks in the Seoul metropolitan area."

The participating companies increased their chances of raising funds needed for business expansion, while investors were able to discover promising startups at an early stage.

Building on this consultation, the Gyeongbuk Youth Startup Support Center plans to expand quarterly regular investment consultations and demo days, in addition to its startup and commercialization support programs, to continuously support Gyeongbuk youth startups in stably entering the investment ecosystem of the Seoul metropolitan area.
