The Paju City Win-Win Support Center (42 Gaeporae-ro), which was previously used as the Munsan Library, has been newly renovated and rebranded. At the opening ceremony held to mark the occasion, Paju Mayor Kim Kyeongil, National Assemblyman Park Jeong, Wang Jian, CEO of Peking University Entrepreneurship Training Camp, Lee Joonseok, Head of the Northern Gyeonggi Branch of the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, and about 60 representatives from labor and startup-related organizations and institutions attended.

The Win-Win Support Center will integrate the existing Labor Rights Center, the Korea Federation of Trade Unions Labor Counseling Office, and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Labor Counseling Office into one space to provide legal and psychological counseling for workers, support for vulnerable workers, and initiatives to promote labor rights. In particular, the third-floor "Startup Campus" will offer a variety of startup support programs based on international cooperation with the Peking University Entrepreneurship Training Camp, such as the "Global Leadership Management Course," the "Northeast Asia Summit Forum," the "Paju-Style Startup Program Development," and the "Global Investment Attraction Roadshow."

The city explained that with the opening of the Win-Win Support Center, it has established an "integrated support base" that encompasses labor rights protection, labor-management cooperation, and startup development. In particular, the center is expected to strengthen counseling and educational functions in the labor sector and expand the foundation for youth entrepreneurship, marking an important turning point in Paju City's efforts to become a labor-friendly and startup-friendly city.

Paju Mayor Kim Kyeongil stated, "I hope the Win-Win Support Center will serve as a solid foundation for the practical protection of workers' rights and as a stepping stone for entrepreneurs to prepare for the future. Together with the Peking University Entrepreneurship Training Camp and the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, we will build a globally competitive startup ecosystem and create a Paju where labor and entrepreneurship grow together."
