Cospo Holds 'MyData Policy Startup Roundtable'

The Korea Startup Forum (Chairman Sangwoo Han, hereinafter referred to as KOSPO) announced on the 19th that it will hold a 'MyData Policy Startup Roundtable' at 1:00 PM on November 21st at the D-Camp Seolleung branch.

This meeting was organized to assess the impact of the Personal Information Protection Commission's policy to expand the right to request data transfer across industries and to gather diverse opinions from ecosystem stakeholders, particularly startups. KOSPO planned this event as a communication channel to reflect the voices of those on the ground in policy discussions regarding the expanded right to request data transfer.

The symposium program will consist of presentations and a panel discussion with industry experts. First, Professor Kim Yong-hee of the Department of Business Administration at Sunmoon University will present on the topic of "Social Issues and Countermeasures Caused by the Expansion of Principal Transfer Rights," highlighting key points such as weakening domestic platform competitiveness and security concerns. Following this, a panel discussion featuring Choi Ji-young, Executive Director of the Korea Startup Forum; Yoo Jeong-hee, Director of the Korea Venture Business Association; Jeong Sin-dong, Professor of Law at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies; and Jeong Won-jun, Research Fellow at the Korea Legislation Research Institute will discuss various issues related to the expansion of the Principal Transfer Rights, focusing on the startup ecosystem, such as personal information protection, corporate information management, industrial competition environment, security systems, and institutional improvement measures.

Choi Ji-young, executive director of the Korea Startup Forum, said, “The expansion of the right to request self-transfer can have a significant impact on startups’ service operations, data utilization, and user information protection, which is why we organized a policy meeting.” She added, “We hope for the interest and participation of many ecosystem stakeholders so that we can broadly listen to the voices of the industry before setting policy directions.”
