KAIA and EO Conclude 'BOLD Seoul 2025 Conference'

The 'BOLD Seoul 2025 Conference', co-hosted by the Korea Early-stage Investment Accelerator Association (KAIA) and EOS Studio (EO) at three locations around Yeoksam Station in Seoul on December 18, has concluded.

Held under the slogan "Expanding the World with Bold Dreams and Optimism," this conference was designed to provide practical insights and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and students seeking to enter the global market. Tickets sold out early, garnering significant interest even before the event began.

After the event, participants' feedback highlighted the speakers' focus on their practical experiences, which was particularly noteworthy. Participants found the lectures, which focused on decision-making and trial and error during the startup process, to be more practical and helpful than theory-based lectures. They also noted the impact of the case studies, which could be applied directly in the field.

Satisfaction with the program structure was also high overall. Participants were given positive feedback for the fact that various sessions, including the main keynote, Global IR Day, Global GTM Seminar, University Joint Demo Day, and Hackathon, were held simultaneously, allowing them to selectively participate based on their interests and startup stage. Some participants stated that the event helped them more clearly define their entrepreneurial direction.

Students and aspiring entrepreneurs also cited the opportunity to interact directly with entrepreneurs and industry professionals they wouldn't normally encounter as a meaningful experience. Some even reported that this experience helped them consider entrepreneurship as a realistic option.

At this conference, founders and leaders of major startups, including Furiosa AI, Yanolja Cloud, Real World, Seoul Robotics, Scatter Lab, and Liner, participated as speakers and shared their experiences in global expansion, organizational operations, and technological strategies.

The event was sponsored by Asan Nanum Foundation, Red Bull, Hite Jinro, and Claiwant, and the sponsors sympathized with the purpose of the event and provided support in various ways.

KAIA and EO stated that this event confirmed the participants' demand for content centered on real-world experiences, and that they plan to continue to provide a platform for entrepreneurs to share their practical concerns and connect in the future.
