BNK Financial Group Signs Win-Win Agreement with Startups to Support Revitalization of Local Startup Ecosystem

BNK Financial Group affiliates BNK Busan Bank and BNK Venture Investment are contributing to revitalizing the local startup ecosystem through win-win cooperation support with startups.

On the afternoon of the 24th, BNK Venture Investment signed a 'Business Agreement for Win-Win Cooperation with Local Startups and Revitalization of Local Tourism' with TourStaff and Jinam at BNK Busan Bank's startup incubation platform, 'Some Incubator.'

TourStaff is a two-seater electric vehicle mobility sharing platform currently undergoing a startup nurturing program as the 7th batch of BNK Busan Bank's 'Some Incubator.' Jinam operates an online and offline accommodation brokerage platform and is growing with management consulting from BNK Venture Investment.

This agreement was carried out as the first achievement of the startup support policy following the 'Some Incubator' meeting, which was the first step taken by BNK Financial Group Chairman Bin Dae-in after his inauguration.

BNK Busan Bank selected companies by analyzing collaboration potential, business feasibility, and synergy among local startups and proceeded with agreements. BNK Venture Investment plans to actively support the contracted companies with investment attraction, advisory services, and management consulting.

TourStaff and Jinam agreed to jointly promote new business development combining micro-mobility and hospitality (accommodation) and collaborate on joint marketing during the agreement.
