Gyeongbuk Technopark (President Ha Inseong, Gyeongbuk TP) announced on December 2 that it successfully concluded the "2025 Regional High School Talent Bizcool Project: Tomorrow Experience and Work Experience Project Final Report Session" at The-K Hotel Gyeongju.

This report session marked the completion of a hands-on entrepreneurship education program, where students from local specialized high schools turned their creative ideas into actual MVPs (Minimum Viable Products). Held on November 28, the event brought together over 100 participants, including project students, supervising teachers, and entrepreneurship experts, and was conducted in a highly enthusiastic atmosphere.

The project involved a total of 18 students across 5 teams from four local schools: Gyeongju Technical High School, Gyeongju Girls' Information High School, Gumi Girls' Commercial High School, and Korea Future Industry High School.

After completing entrepreneurship education (Innovation Startup School), the students underwent mentoring and prototype development for about three months from September to November. On this day, each team presented their final results and had their items evaluated for originality, business potential, and growth prospects.

As a result of the final evaluation, the "Lighttrip" team from Gyeongju Technical High School received the Grand Prize, the Gyeongsangbuk-do Governor's Award.

The "Lighttrip" team (Gyeongju Technical High School second-year students Shim Minseong, Yoon Yongjin, and Jeong Hyena) developed the "LIGHTRIP" app, which offers a "brilliant travel experience." The app was highly praised for its innovation in enhancing convenience for travelers and revitalizing local tourism, earning them the top honor.

The Excellence Award (Gyeongbuk TP President's Award) was jointly awarded to the "Petit Morning" team from Gumi Girls' Commercial High School, which introduced a beginner-friendly baking kit using local rice, and the "Gallery Soom" team from Gyeongju Girls' Information High School, which planned a zero-waste gallery utilizing a closed school.

Additionally, the "Rhymer" team from Gyeongju Technical High School, which developed a child safety vehicle drop-off alert system, and the "Eco Friends" team from Korea Future Industry High School, which presented character content inspired by Yeongju's local specialties, both received the Encouragement Award (Gyeongbuk TP President's Award), successfully concluding the project.

All awarded teams received prizes to encourage their entrepreneurial activities.

Jung Jinwhan, Head of the Corporate Support Division at Gyeongbuk TP, stated in his congratulatory remarks, "I give a big round of applause for the spirit of challenge and teamwork the students demonstrated while experiencing real commercialization processes outside the classroom. Today's achievements will serve as a vital foundation for exploring future career paths and realizing their potential as future entrepreneurs."

Gyeongbuk TP provided entrepreneurship education to a total of 79 local talents through this Bizcool Project. By connecting with local companies and offering internship opportunities, the organization is helping to prevent the outflow of young people from the region and revitalize the local economy.

Ha Inseong, President of Gyeongbuk TP, stated, "The creative potential demonstrated by local specialized high school students through this project is a key driving force for Gyeongbuk's future innovation. Gyeongbuk Technopark will continue to expand support so that students can grow into local talents with practical entrepreneurial capabilities, and will do its utmost to build an innovation ecosystem led by young people."
