The Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Yongwoo Kim, hereinafter referred to as Busan Creative Economy) announced that it will officially launch the '2025 Preliminary Startup Package General Field B.Boost Startup Mentoring' to help aspiring entrepreneurs successfully commercialize their businesses.
This mentoring program was designed to support the stable growth of aspiring entrepreneurs who lack experience and expertise. A survey conducted in July identified aspiring entrepreneurs' desired areas, including marketing, intellectual property, startup management, and tax and accounting. Based on these findings, the program matched mentors with experts in each field and representatives of top graduate companies. The 14 selected aspiring entrepreneurs will receive up to 10 customized mentoring sessions from up to three mentors over the next six months.
Meanwhile, the Pre-Startup Package, hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and organized by Busan Changgyeong, identifies and supports prospective entrepreneurs with innovative technologies and business models (BMs). It provides commercialization funding (average of 50 million won) and specialized programs offered by the host organization. Specifically, Busan Changgyeong plans to identify and directly invest in outstanding companies among the 28 selected companies, utilizing its own investment resources.
Busan Changgyeong PM Choi Min-jeong said, “I hope that through this mentoring, aspiring entrepreneurs can overcome the numerous trials and errors and difficulties they face in the process of commercializing their businesses and establish a foundation for practical growth.” She added, “I hope that the valuable experience and know-how of the top graduates and experts in each field will be of great help to aspiring entrepreneurs.”
