CNT Tech announced on the 2nd that the '2025 Seoul Youth Cook × FAST TRACK CLOSED IR Event' held in Yeongdeungpo has concluded.
This event is a private investor relations (IR) event designed to support follow-up investment for companies participating in the Seoul Youth Cook Project and the Agricultural and Food Technology Startup Accelerator Fostering Support Program. The Agricultural and Food Technology Startup Accelerator Fostering Support Program, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and organized by the Korea Institute of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, aims to foster a private-sector-led investment ecosystem in the agricultural and food sector and foster the growth of promising startups.
A total of 10 startups participated in the event and presented their technologies and visions, including eco-friendly pulp container ‘Nanoo’, automated vertical farm ‘Rowain’, pet genetic diagnosis kit ‘Generbio’, AI-based new variety developer ‘Pamillese’, plant-based food material ‘Humil’, sleep functional food ‘Romansive’, vegan convenience food ‘Slunch Factory’, food upcycling technology ‘Urban Labs’, infant and toddler food solution ‘Enough You’, and restaurant operation automation solution ‘Frankit’.
The evaluation was attended by key evaluators from eight investment firms, including venture capital firms Magna Investment, CJ Investment, BNK Venture Investment, which manage agricultural and food mother funds, and POSCO Technology Investment and Our Home, who evaluated the companies' presentations and reviewed the possibility of follow-up investment.
In particular, 9 out of 10 participating companies received follow-up meeting proposals from investors, demonstrating high interest and tangible results. This is evaluated as an important opportunity to attract investment beyond a simple presentation.
A CNT Tech representative stated, “We have worked hard to match carefully selected startups with investment firms specializing in the agricultural and food sector to facilitate in-depth discussions,” and added, “Based on this event, we plan to continue to support the participating companies so that they can successfully attract follow-up investments and grow.”
