Daejeon Center for Creative Economy and Innovation (hereinafter referred to as Daejeon Innovation Center) announced that it has selected 14 promising startups to participate in the '2025 Startup Advanced Support Project' and will begin full-scale support starting with a kickoff event on the 4th.
The 'Startup Advanced Support Project' is a project that promotes private-sector-led innovative startups by discovering and fostering startups with excellent technologies and products in the Daejeon area, centered around the Daejeon Startup Park.
This project is divided into three types: △ a collaborative project track that solves social problems suggested by large corporations (Hana Bank, Korea Water Resources Corporation), △ a regional specialization track that supports startups in Daejeon’s strategic industries (aerospace, bio-healthcare, semiconductors, defense, quantum robots), and △ a global expansion track that supports startups hoping to enter the global market, and plans to provide support tailored to the characteristics of each startup.
In particular, 14 companies were finally selected for this project after beating the high competition rate of 7:1. The selected startups will receive an average of 30 million won in commercialization funds, and opportunities for strategic open collaboration with public and private conglomerates will also be provided.
The 14 startups selected are: △Dolbom Dream Co., Ltd. △Cool Micro Co., Ltd. △Defi Co., Ltd. △Gongka Co., Ltd. △Lipiu Co., Ltd. △Adwave Co., Ltd. △Pewit Co., Ltd. △OAQ Co., Ltd. △TL Co., Ltd. △Anuta Co., Ltd. △Laser & Graphene Co., Ltd. △Calisee Co., Ltd. △Greenda AI △Stella Vision Co., Ltd.
Startup officials who attended this kickoff event responded positively, saying, “We have high expectations for this business as it can be of practical help in the startup field,” and “It seems like it will be a realistic solution for companies that have gone beyond the initial startup stage.”
Park Dae-hee, CEO of Daejeon Innovation Center, said, “We expect this project to provide substantial help in the early growth of startups and strengthening their global competitiveness,” and added, “Starting with the kickoff, we plan to sequentially introduce various customized programs for companies.”
