Gyeongbuk Creative Economy Innovation Center 's accelerating program 'G-Star Dreamers' held its final demo day at the Genesis Lab of Handong University in Pohang on the 20th, marking the last event of the year's program.
This Demo Day was designed to expand investment opportunities and enhance external exposure for selected companies, and consisted of IR pitching, business consultations, and networking programs, all held in one venue.
In the IR pitching session, a total of 12 companies shared their technology and product directions through a seven-minute presentation followed by an eight-minute Q&A session. AC and VC investors, including IM Investment Partners, Ecopro Partners, and POSCO Technology Investment, participated and comprehensively reviewed the companies' growth potential and investment suitability.
