Jointly hosted by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and ICT, the EXPO was held under the theme "The Future of New Industries Opened by Regional Collaboration and Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation." The Hallym University Startup Support Headquarters presented the university’s Glocal University 30 innovation strategy at the Regional Growth Pavilion, sharing it with participants from across the country. The participation in this EXPO is being evaluated as a significant stepping stone for the nationwide dissemination of the Glocal University 30 project’s achievements.

The Glocal University 30 Startup Support Headquarters booth at Hallym University attracted more than 1,000 stakeholders and aspiring entrepreneurs, who showed keen interest in the innovative vision of the Glocal University 30 project and the concrete startup achievements of Station C.

The Startup Support Headquarters particularly focused on promoting Station C, a startup hub connecting local government, industry, academia, and research institutions, as a representative success story of the Glocal University 30 project. Station C, presented as a core model, is a comprehensive startup hub that goes beyond simply providing space, aiming to nurture 'Global Pioneer' and 'pre-Unicorn' companies. This offers a concrete action plan for fostering regionally self-reliant and sustainable star companies, which is the ultimate goal of the Glocal University 30 project.

The main achievements highlighted included: ▲ Innovative curriculum operation (innovative entrepreneurship education programs such as 'Open-type Startup Courses' and 'Localpreneurship' for region-based entrepreneurship), ▲ Global startup support (practical global entrepreneurship capacity-building programs such as the 'K-Startup Project'), and ▲ Regional collaboration outcomes (the role and achievements of Station C in building a regionally rooted startup infrastructure and concentrating local startup capabilities).

Park Dujai, Head of the Startup Support Headquarters at Hallym University, stated, "Participation in this EXPO was an important platform for disseminating the innovative aspects of the Glocal University 30 project and the tangible achievements of its core model, Station C, nationwide." He emphasized, "Going forward, we will further accelerate the dissemination of the Glocal University 30 project’s achievements based on Station C, and through this, lead the cultivation of creative talent and the development of new regional industries, thereby solidifying the foundation for sustainable regional growth."
