The Korea Institute of Startups and Entrepreneurship Development (KIEDD) signed a business agreement with Taejae University.

The Korea Institute for Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KITD) (Director Jongpil Yoo) and Taejae University (President Jaeho Yeom) announced on September 9 that they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to foster global entrepreneurship talent.

This agreement was promoted to foster entrepreneurial talent in four major deep tech fields, including AI, big data, quantum, robotics, and mobility, by linking the 'Global Startup Hub', which the Korea Institute of Startups & Entrepreneurship Development is promoting with the goal of opening in the first half of 2026, with Taejae University's 'Global Circular Education Model'.

Through this agreement, the two organizations plan to establish a practical cooperative system centered on ▲ joint operation of a program to foster entrepreneurial talent ▲ development of entrepreneurship-related curriculum and industry-academia cooperation (including internships) ▲ sharing of networks and infrastructure.

“Through collaboration between public institutions and universities, we will be able to systematically cultivate entrepreneurial talent with global capabilities and provide them with opportunities to grow in the global market,” said Yoo Jong-pil, president of the Korea Institute for Startups & Entrepreneurship Development. “Starting with this agreement, we will continue to expand our connections with the private sector, universities, and research institutes.”

Taejae University President Yeom Jae-ho said, “This agreement will be an important opportunity to combine Taejae University’s vision of pursuing future-oriented higher education with the Korea Institute of Startups and Entrepreneurship Development’s global startup infrastructure.” He added, “In particular, we will cultivate core talents with creativity and execution skills, focusing on the four major deep tech fields, and together we will lay the foundation for challenging the global market.”
