The Yoonmin Foundation, the operating agency for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' technology startup support program ‘TIPS’ and the small business startup support program ‘LIPS’, supports the challenging spirit of youth and aspiring entrepreneurs and leads the expansion of the startup ecosystem.
Notably, through its ‘Good Starter’ investment competition program, it has focused investments on startups in innovative fields such as online platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), mobility, and content, while simultaneously advancing entrepreneurship education and youth startup support initiatives.
Through this agreement, the two institutions plan to establish a comprehensive startup support cooperation system. This includes jointly developing and operating practical startup education programs for prospective and early-stage entrepreneurs in universities and local communities, building mentoring and expert networks, and facilitating connections for IR (investment attraction) and follow-on investments.
Son Joo Eun, Director of The Yoonmin Foundation, stated, “We expect that through our cooperation with Kookmin University, more entrepreneurs with innovative ideas on campus will be able to grow,” adding, “We will strive to create a sustainable university startup ecosystem that connects entrepreneurship education with investment.”
Jeong Seung Ryul, President of Kookmin University, remarked, “This is a meaningful collaboration combining Kookmin University's entrepreneurial education capabilities, which emphasize the spirit of entrepreneurship, with the foundation's investment network.” He added, “We will do our utmost to support creative talents in growing into global innovators through practical startup education.”
