Hwaseong Special City is fully supporting promising startups to enter the global market. Hwaseong Industrial Promotion Agency (Director Jeon Byeong-seon) announced that it will recruit participating companies for the '2025 Global Startup Takeoff Operation' targeting promising startups in the city aiming to enter the global market until May 21.
This project aims to advance AI-based technologies and scale up through global open innovation, and will select eight startups located in Hwaseong Special City to provide a step-by-step global acceleration program and up to 15 million won in startup growth funds. In particular, the selected companies will have the opportunity to directly participate in local programs (▲Global Demo Day ▲Open Innovation Matching ▲Global Networking ▲IR Pitching, etc.) operated in major global markets such as the US, Germany, Finland, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Furthermore, this project goes beyond simple overseas expansion support by providing a practical global growth roadmap for startups, including ▲AI-based technology advancement mentoring ▲international VC/CVC investment opportunities ▲open innovation programs for large and medium-sized overseas companies ▲customized overseas expansion strategy establishment consulting.
This year’s program will be operated by the global professional accelerator ‘Nautilus Investment’, with the goal of creating overseas local connections and tangible results. In addition, excellent participating companies will be linked to direct investment in Hwaseong Special City and additional global expansion support.
The target of support is a startup with a headquarters, factory, or research center in Hwaseong Special City. Any company with less than 7 years of operation (within 10 years for new industries) can apply. Startups in fields with high global scalability such as AI, biohealth, greentech, and smart mobility are especially welcome.
Jeon Byeong-seon, the head of the Hwaseong Industrial Promotion Agency, said, “Through this global startup takeoff operation, we will actively support startups in Hwaseong Special City so that they can leap forward as global companies based on AI technology,” and asked for “great interest and participation from promising startups.”
