Goryeong-gun Holds Living Lab to Strengthen Young Entrepreneurs Network

Communication and Empathy Administration Opening Today's and Tomorrow's Doors for Youth

Goryeong County in North Gyeongsang Province and the New Vitality Plus Project Promotion Team (headed by Seo Cheolhyeon) held a Living Lab at the Haengbok Dream Center on the 9th to strengthen the youth entrepreneur network and to diagnose the current state of startups while seeking solutions.

The Living Lab is an innovative platform where local residents seek solutions to regional issues on their own.

On this day, around 20 young entrepreneurs gathered to share their startup experiences and challenges, and to generate policy proposal ideas to establish a foundation for youth entrepreneurship. They also explored various ideas for youth policies in Goryeong County that aim to support the lives of young people, thereby advancing policy directions and suggesting new development strategies.

One young entrepreneur who participated in the Living Lab said, "In the face of difficulties in the job market, such as companies prioritizing experienced hires, starting a business can be an alternative for young people. It was a meaningful time to communicate with fellow young entrepreneurs who share similar concerns and to discuss policy solutions."

County Governor Lee Namcheol emphasized that youth are the hope for the future, stating, "I promise to implement policies that allow young people to realize their dreams, and let's have a more in-depth and honest discussion about the various opinions raised at this Living Lab during the upcoming communication concert with young entrepreneurs and the county governor scheduled for the 23rd."

Goryeong County aims for open and empathetic communication and administration with young people, and plans to reflect the various opinions gathered from the Youth Entrepreneur Living Lab and the communication concert with the governor in county policies.
