The Chungbuk Institute of Science and Technology Innovation (President Ko Geun-seok, hereinafter referred to as the “Chungbuk Institute of Science and Technology”) announced that it held the “2025 Chungbuk Digital Excellence Company KICK-OFF and Consultant Matching Day” at the Chungbuk Digital Innovation Support Center in Ochang, Cheongju on Tuesday, the 12th.
This event was organized as a core program of the 'Chungbuk Digital Capacity Building Support Project,' which is part of the 'Regional Digital Innovation Hub Creation Support Project' promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, and Cheongju City.
The event was attended by 13 companies selected as Chungbuk's digital excellence companies in 2025 (5 companies in '24, 8 companies in '25) and specialized consultants from each field, who jointly designed a growth roadmap for each company this year with the goal of creating Chungbuk-style unicorn companies.
In particular, the 2025 Excellent Company Development Program will further specify company-specific performance goals compared to the previous year, setting sales growth as a mandatory indicator and pursuing optional goals for each company, such as new product development, new hires, and new market entry. To support these goals, Chungbuk National Institute of Science and Technology plans to provide practical growth support programs, including customized consulting for each company and AX capacity building training in partnership with Microsoft.
The event included an introduction to the Chungbuk Excellent Company Development Program, a special lecture on exits based on investment attraction, M&A, and SPACs, a company-consultant matching session, and a sharing of performance goals and networking opportunities. The matching session, in particular, provided a platform to share current status and challenges for each company and develop customized implementation strategies to achieve results.
Through this program, Chungbuk Institute of Science and Technology aims to achieve its goals of fostering a digital innovation ecosystem, revitalizing the local economy, and creating Chungbuk-style digital unicorn companies in the mid- to long-term.
Chungbuk Institute of Science and Technology President Koh Geun-seok said, “I hope that starting today, companies, consultants, local governments, and the Institute of Science and Technology will become one and become an ‘excellent company proven through performance.’” He added, “The Institute of Science and Technology will also be with us until the end and provide unsparing support for the creation of Chungbuk-style unicorn companies.”
