Social startup Keymus Studio (CEO Nam Jang-won) announced on the 23rd that it was selected for the 'TS2 (Technology for Sustainable Social Impact) 2025' accelerator program held in Singapore.
The TS2 program, aligned with the Singapore government's social impact support policy, is a global accelerator program that selects and supports technology-based startups through a total funding of SGD 3.5 million (approximately KRW 3.5 billion). Officially launched in January 2024, TS2 is jointly operated by raiSE Singapore and NUS Enterprise at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and will nurture 16 companies over two years. Selected companies will receive access to a network of domestic and international mentors, experts, and investors, a customized curriculum, education focused on solving social problems, and grants of up to SGD 100,000.
Kimu Studio was selected for TS2 in recognition of its IP-centric content business model and sustainable revenue generation structure, which leverages designers with developmental disabilities. Through a 10-week intensive program from July to November, the company implemented program training and a demo day, concretizing its employment model and content business structure, tailored to the global market, based on the creative work of individuals with developmental disabilities. The company also provides art education to local Singaporeans with developmental disabilities and plans to launch a Singapore edition in 2026.
Nam Jang-won, CEO, said, “We participated in the TS2 program to create an economic system where all artists can enjoy creating, earn profits, and feel a sense of belonging.” He added, “Starting with business verification in Singapore, we will expand the global creative standard where inclusion becomes competitiveness worldwide.”
