First Networking Event for Southeastern Startup Council
Universities, Institutions, and Investors Gather to Boost Startup Ecosystem Collaboration

The Pusan National University Startup Support Group (President Choi Jaewon) held its first networking event to strengthen the startup ecosystem in the southeastern region.

The Startup Support Group announced on the 25th that it hosted the "1st Southeastern Startup Council Networking Day" at Hotel Nongshim in Busan on the 20th.

The "Southeastern Startup Council" is a collaborative organization comprised of universities, startup-related institutions, and investment firms in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions. It was launched in 2023 under the leadership of the Pusan National University Startup Support Group. The council aims to vitalize the startup ecosystem, connect investments, and establish a foundation for growth.

At the event, representatives from southeastern universities, startup support organizations, and investment firms attended to share their respective programs and examples of cooperation. Through various sessions, participants explored practical collaboration models and expanded their networks.

Kang Jungeun, Head of the Pusan National University Startup Support Group (Professor of Urban Engineering), stated, "The development of the regional startup ecosystem begins with organic cooperation among institutions," and added, "This networking event will serve as an opportunity to further promote information sharing and joint projects."

Starting with this event, the Southeastern Startup Council plans to continue regular exchanges, including sharing startup information, discovering joint projects, and proposing policies.
