This opening was carried out as part of the ‘Business Agreement (MOU) for Regional Win-Win Cooperation and Promotion of Employment and Entrepreneurship,’ which was signed by Korea Western Power and Hansuh University in May 2023.

Korea Western Power and Hansuh University have continued their collaborative efforts to build an entrepreneurship ecosystem for local youth, starting with the 2024 Startup Competition. In particular, last year, they selected 15 teams through the Startup Idea Competition and provided a total of 150 million won in commercialization funds, thereby supporting the practical growth of aspiring and early-stage youth startup teams in the region. Furthermore, the Startup Agit will serve as a venue for entrepreneurship education, consulting, and networking programs, as well as providing office space.

Lee Jeongbok, President of Korea Western Power, said, "The cooperation we have built with Hansuh University has now materialized into a tangible space in the form of the Startup Support Center," adding, "We will continue to provide ongoing support so that students can realize their entrepreneurial dreams and continue to grow."
