AGCC (CEO Jeon Jeong-hyeon), an accelerator specializing in entering the global market, announced that it has started recruiting overseas startups to participate in the 2025 K-Scouter program hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Institute of Startups and Entrepreneurship Development.
K-Scouter is a government-led program that provides step-by-step support from strategy formulation to local programs to global startups wishing to enter the Korean market. A total of 20 companies will be selected in the first round this year, and 10 of them will participate in the domestic program that visits Korea in December of this year.
As the operator of this program, AGCC will provide intensive programs to selected overseas teams with excellent technologies, including ▲ mentoring on strategies to enter the Korean market, ▲ discovery of local partners, ▲ consulting on localization of business models, ▲ IR pitching, and connection with domestic investor networks.
In particular, for the domestic program to be held in December, we plan to support the establishment of a practical entry base through official participation in 'COMEUP 2025', the largest global startup event in Korea, visits to major domestic organizations, IR matching with local accelerators/VCs, and consulting on incorporation.
“K-Scouter is not a short-term visit program, but rather an implementation-oriented track specifically for entering the Korean market, which will be a great opportunity for global startup teams,” said Jeon Jeong-hyeon, CEO of AGCC. “We hope to see many promising overseas startups preparing to enter the Korean market participate.”
Overseas startups wishing to participate in the program can apply through the recruitment notice until August.
