The event also attracted attention with the participation of YELLOPUNCH, a global accelerator that supports the entire process of starting a business, including early-stage startup company building, investment, and education. YELLOPUNCH supports international students’ entrepreneurship challenges by providing global startup programs, acceleration, IR planning, and consulting on incorporation.

At this expo, Yellow Punch operated an integrated booth with WeBring, a startup that supports international students, and conducted practical consultations. They plan to provide more realistic startup infrastructure through a total service platform that goes beyond simple startup support and encompasses the entire life of international students, including visas, insurance, accommodations, cultural experiences, and job matching.

On this day, the integrated hall attracted the attention of international students by participating in ▲Yellow Punch (support for entrepreneurship by international students), ▲Webring (total service closely related to the lives of international students), ▲Ganadara (global Korean language learning app), ▲Momstay (international student accommodation matching platform), ▲Colleges (international student digital badge issuance and career certification service), and ▲Withical (hospital and healthcare matching service).

The event was a hot one, with international students of various nationalities visiting the booth to receive consultations and network.

Yellow Punch CEO Yoo Ki-ryeon said, “International students’ interest in entrepreneurship is increasing year after year,” and added, “I hope that Korea’s startup culture will grow together with international students and expand into the world in the future.”
