Gyeongsangnam- do and the Gyeongsangnam-do Creative Economy Innovation Center announced on the 18th that they will be fully promoting the '2025 Gyeongsangnam-do-type Startup Acceleration Support Project' to help the Gyeongsangnam-do region leap forward as a non-metropolitan area startup leading region.
BTB Ventures Co., Ltd. was selected as the operator of this project. BTB Ventures has a wide network with global startup hubs such as the US, Europe, and Singapore, and is evaluated as an accelerator with specialized capabilities for the global expansion and scale-up of Gyeongnam startups.
This year, the key point is the introduction of a 'two-track customized strategy' that differentiates support methods according to the growth stage of startups. It has a highly effective support system for each stage by dividing into early-stage startups with less than 3 years of operation and leap-stage startups with 3 to 10 years of operation.
Through this, early-stage startups can lay the foundation for global expansion, and startups in the takeoff stage can receive full-cycle growth support to attract actual investment and advance into overseas markets.
Selected companies can participate in customized acceleration programs for each stage of growth, including intensive training, mentoring and consulting, IR (investment attraction presentation) training and support for writing materials, demo days and open innovation events, global investor connections, and participation in overseas exhibitions. In addition, excellent companies will be given direct investment of up to 300 million won and opportunities for follow-up investment connections through the operating company, BTB Ventures.
Gyeongnam Province and the Gyeongnam Creative Economy Innovation Center expect that through this project, they will not only achieve qualitative growth in the local startup ecosystem, but also discover and foster promising startups that will grow into global unicorns.
The application period for this project is from April 18 to May 8. Startups wishing to participate can easily apply online using the QR code in the poster.
