The Daejeon Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Daehee Park, hereinafter referred to as the Daejeon Innovation Center) announced on the 13th that it will be accepting applications for participating startups for the '2025 Startup Korea Investment Week (SIW)', which will be held for four days from Monday, September 15th to Thursday, September 18th in the Gung-dong area of Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, until August 22nd.
This event, which will be held for four days from Monday, September 15th to Thursday, September 18th at the Daejeon Startup Park in Gung-dong, Yuseong-gu, is the largest local alley startup-investor meetup in Korea, held for the third consecutive year. Promising startups, investors, global VCs, large corporations, and various experts from finance, law, and taxation will gather in one place to engage in practical investment connections and strategic networking.
In particular, one-on-one meetups based on pre-matching between investors and startups are a core program of SIW. Participating startups can select prospective investors and experts in advance to conduct IR and consultations. This year, the program has been expanded to include diverse scale-up programs, including Global Day, exhibition booth operation, and recruitment-linked programs.
Last year's event saw a total of 1,100 one-on-one meetups, 94 side events, and participation from global startup stakeholders from 40 countries, generating active collaboration and investment results across the domestic and international startup ecosystems. This year, the event plans to enhance the pre-matching system and enhance the diversity of participating organizations to maximize business opportunities for startups.
Park Dae-hee, CEO of the Daejeon Innovation Center, said, “Startup Korea Investment Week is more than just a meeting place; we are doing our best to build an investment ecosystem so that promising startups can strengthen their competitiveness on the domestic and international stages.” He added, “We will continue to make all-out efforts to help startups outside the metropolitan area secure growth momentum and produce tangible results through various support programs.”
