Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Yongwoo Kim, hereinafter referred to as Busan Creative Economy) announced that it will hold a 'Smart Port Challenge Briefing Session' with PIER71 and Busan Technology Startup Investment Center at 2:30 PM on June 23rd at the Busan Workation Center.
The 'Smart Port Challenge' is a global marine technology innovation program that has been held in Singapore since 2018, recruiting technology-based startups that can solve challenges in the shipping industry. The program is held online and offline for 10 weeks. Participating companies are provided with master classes (lectures by experts in the field), workshops, mentoring, networking opportunities, and a chance to win through the finals.
Key focus areas include maritime green technology, next-generation ports, smart shipping, and digitalization (AI, cloud, cybersecurity).
At this briefing session, PIER71 staff will personally introduce the program, and you will also hear about the experiences of companies that have completed the program.
Any startup or ecosystem participant interested in entering Singapore and taking on the challenge can participate, and pre-registration is available through the Busan Changgyeong website.
“The Smart Port Challenge will be an opportunity for various companies to participate because it widely embraces technologies that can be applied to the marine industry,” said Ha Seong-yeop, CEO of Marina Chain, a marine logistics ESG company that advanced to the semi-finals of the 2022 Smart Port Challenge. “Through the challenge, we were able to quickly get our ideas verified by key figures in marine companies, and the mentoring and information provided a great help in our company’s growth.”
In addition, Busan Changgyeong CEO Yongwoo Kim said, “Hosting the Smart Port Challenge briefing session in Busan will be an important cooperation for Busan to grow into a global hub for the marine industry,” and “I hope that many startups interested in advancing into Singapore will gain useful information through this roadshow.”
Meanwhile, the briefing session will be held twice in total, in Busan (June 23) and Seoul (June 26).
