Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will host the '2025 Bucheon Content Company Demo Day' at the Webtoon Convergence Center on July 8.
This event is part of the Bucheon Content Growth Support Platform Project and is designed as a practical industry exchange program that connects promising content companies with venture capital firms, distributors, and related organizations.
In the first part of the event, nine outstanding content companies that participated in Bucheon City's content company growth support program will deliver investment presentations (IR) to investors and distributors.
This year, the panel of judges has been strengthened with a focus on distributors. In addition, companies selected for the 2024 Bucheon International Animation Festival (BIAF) will participate, creating a structure that links content distribution as well.
The presenting companies include WeArt, Jackstree, Content Labs, Ujumunbanggu, Redice Pictures, CreativeSeom, LittleBigHuman, Studio High, and IN.
The investment firms include NextG Investment, Gaia Venture Partners, KC Ventures, Solaire Partners, Enlight Ventures, Central Investment Partners, Venture Invest, Saltlux Ventures, Daekyo Investment, Daesung Startup Investment, and Michigan Venture Capital. Major domestic distributors such as Next Entertainment World, Megabox JoongAng, and Plus M will also participate.
The second part of the event will feature one-on-one business consultations between companies and investors or distributors. There will also be networking programs to explore collaboration with resident companies of the Webtoon Convergence Center, related organizations, and content-related universities and high schools.
A Bucheon City official stated, "This Demo Day goes beyond a simple presentation event to serve as a practical business platform that connects distribution, investment, and technology cooperation. We will strengthen the foundation for the growth of local content companies and actively support the commercialization and global expansion of content intellectual property (IP)."
