Incheon TP Supports Local Game Teams... 60 Million Won to 4 Companies

Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) has decided to support local affiliated esports teams to strengthen the competitiveness of Incheon esports companies and establish a game industry ecosystem in the Incheon area, and is recruiting participating companies until the 1st of next month.

The support targets are Incheon companies that own and operate esports teams, and the teams must consist of at least one professional esports team. Incheon TP plans to select four companies and provide up to 60 million KRW (15 million KRW per company) to cover the costs necessary for team operation and activities.

Detailed information such as application methods can be found on the Incheon TP website. A representative from Incheon TP said, "We expect this support project to help expand the base of the esports industry and build an ecosystem in the Incheon area," adding, "We hope for the active interest of Incheon esports companies."

Meanwhile, Incheon TP has been carrying out various game culture support projects since 2018 with the support of Incheon City, including support for local affiliated esports teams, hosting esports challenge tournaments, supporting Incheon game events, and operating a game professional training academy.

In particular, last year, through support for local affiliated esports teams, Incheon-based teams achieved success by advancing to international tournaments such as PGS (PUBG Global Series) Shanghai, PGS Thailand, and EWC (Esports World Cup) Saudi Arabia.
