Decamp (CEO Park Young-hoon) announced on the 6th that it has published the '2025 Banking Youth Entrepreneurship Foundation Annual Report' and the '2025 Decamp Sustainable Management Activity Report' containing major achievements and ESG management activities for 2025.
2025 marked the full launch of Decamp's startup incubation model, the "DeCamp Batch" program. A total of 33 promising startups were selected from batches 1 through 4, receiving dedicated mentoring and goal-based growth solutions. Oneself World (CEO Cho Chang-hyun), from batch 1, saw a 1,327% increase in sales year-over-year, while Tesolo (CEO Kim Young-jin), from batch 2, saw a 157% increase in sales as of December 2025. This demonstrates that the batch program is not just a selection process; it leads to tangible business results.
The spaces and growth programs that support business immersion have also yielded results. Through the Seolleung and Mapo D.Camp spaces, a total of 881 companies (5,083 employees) have been provided with workspace, and last year, 100 new companies (779 employees) joined. Growth programs, including growth coaching, office hours, and expert consulting, have accumulated 23,549 sessions, contributing to solving practical problems for a total of 22,448 startups.
In the global sector, we operated an overseas expansion program focused on the Japanese and US markets. In Japan, we held three open innovation events, with the participation of 16 major Japanese companies and 32 startups, resulting in four business matchings.
In the investment sector, a total of KRW 867.6 billion was invested, including KRW 40.6 billion in cumulative direct investment, KRW 135.5 billion in equity funds, and KRW 691.5 billion in policy funds. As a result, the corporate value of startups directly invested by Decamp will reach KRW 5.54 trillion by the end of 2025, a 4.33-fold increase from the KRW 1.28 trillion at the time of investment in 2012.
The Sustainable Management Activity Report includes performance across all ESG areas, including environment, society, and governance. Decamp has expanded its sustainable investment base by directly investing a cumulative KRW 3.45 billion in 18 startups specializing in resource recycling, renewable energy, and carbon accounting, with approximately 30% of its placements comprised of companies with ESG-related business models.
Decamp's 2025 Annual Report and Sustainability Management Activity Report can be found on its official website.
Meanwhile, in the domestic startup ecosystem, investment and support for companies with ESG management and sustainable business models are gradually expanding.
