Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Yongwoo Kim, hereinafter referred to as Busan Changgyeong) announced on the 23rd that it held an orientation for 10 companies selected for the 5th B.Startup PIE Batch Program in 2025 in Busan Changgyeong.
This orientation was attended by about 15 people, including representatives and practitioners from 10 companies selected through a 15 to 1 competition, and was meaningful in that it was the first time they gathered together since the selection. Busan Changkyung introduced the center and programs, gave special lectures on startup insights and investment attraction laws, and conducted 1:1 mentoring and networking with partner investment companies.
In particular, Attorney Lee Dong-gyun's special lecture on investment contract-related matters based on cases and Park Jeong-im, CEO of Cape Rite Asset Management, gave a lecture on startup asset management know-how, which helped in planning a successful business roadmap. Afterwards, 10 out of 35 partner investment companies of the B.Startup PIE placement program were provided with a total of 4 1:1 mentoring sessions for each selected company, including checking the status of business operations and milestones, and supplementing investment attraction strategies, providing customized and dense support for each company.
The B.Startup PIE placement program is operated with the purpose of ‘supporting corporate fostering and scale-up through selection of capable companies and matching with investment companies, and promoting investment activation through direct investment and follow-up investment linkage at the center.’
Last year, the program held a total of 123 investor-startup meetups, and the selected companies achieved a cumulative investment of over 18 billion won. Busan Changgyeong is also contributing to the revitalization of the local startup ecosystem by expanding direct investment and strengthening regional-metropolitan networking.
