Startup growth partner D-Camp (CEO Park Young-hoon) is stepping forward to take charge of the future security of the Korean police. On the 7th, D-Camp held a business briefing session at Front One in Mapo-gu, Seoul, with key officials from the National Police Agency’s Future Security Policy Bureau, the Science Security Promotion Center R&D Headquarters, and 10 startups supported by D-Camp in attendance.
This briefing session was held as part of the agreement signed last month between D.Camp and the National Police Agency to jointly contribute to the growth of startups in the security industry. The startups supported by D.Camp will participate in the advancement of the National Police Agency’s future security services, and the National Police Agency will provide opportunities to verify the businesses of startups, thereby creating a foundation for mutual growth as long-term business partners.
In the briefing session that lasted about 2 hours, the National Police Agency’s Future Security Policy Bureau and the Science Security Promotion Center R&D Headquarters explained the current issues and demands for future security related to traffic safety, life safety, scientific investigation, and cyber safety. In the place where the history and checklist were proposed as examples of collaboration, startup companies raised the heat by asking in-depth questions.
The National Police Agency also introduced related startup services on topics such as traffic safety, life safety, scientific investigation, and cyber safety related to future security that it had previously shared. It also provided time for startups to freely suggest their own innovative ideas, further increasing the possibility of advancing K-security.
The National Police Agency plans to pursue various key tasks this year with the basic direction of discovering problem-solving R&D tasks and expanding R&D projects for various human, material, and technical support for field police officers. In particular, the R&D project alone will increase by 7.4 billion won compared to last year, and a budget of 64 billion won will be invested in 17 projects to strengthen police investigation capabilities based on science and technology. As the growth gap in the startup world is widening due to internal and external uncertainties, it is expected that the startups supported by D.Camp will be a turning point where they can make a new leap forward by cooperating with the National Police Agency.
Park Young-hoon, CEO of Decamp, said, “This year, we are selecting 10 companies per quarter from among startups in the Pre-A and Series A stages, with the themes of ICT, deep tech, and climate tech,” and through this briefing session, he said, “We expect that this will be a great opportunity for excellent startups supported by Decamp to grow while contributing to the public good.”
