Busan National University Startup Support Group and Busan Seo-gu Ignite Youth Entrepreneurship

Western District Youth Vitality Project Collaboration

Responding to Population Decline and Supporting Startup Activation

Busan National University Startup Support Group (Director Kang Jeong-eun, Professor of Urban Engineering) signed an agreement with Seo-gu Office, Busan (Mayor Gong Han-su) on the 18th for the ‘Busan Seo-gu Youth Vitality Project’ at Seo-gu Office.

The two organizations will establish a cooperative system to successfully promote the project and revitalize youth entrepreneurship in the region.

This project is being carried out in Busan Seo-gu to prevent the outflow of young people and attract the resident population through support for youth startups, solving local problems, and supporting cultural activities.

Similar to Busan Seo-gu, the Busan National University Startup Support Group is striving to strategically discover local startup companies and support their business commercialization at each growth stage to revitalize youth entrepreneurship and create a startup ecosystem in the region.

This agreement was promoted to unite efforts for joint response by the public and academic sectors to the decline of the local youth population by providing education and support to project participating companies (organizations), supporting youth startup companies, and discovering prospective startups in the future.

The two organizations expect this to create conditions for youth in Busan Seo-gu to be active, serve as a good opportunity for them to continuously take interest in and visit Seo-gu, and further become a chance to prevent the outflow of youth population in the Busan area, establish a local settlement foundation, and spread a youth startup culture.
