- 25.10.17 / 전윤실
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) announced that its Entrepreneurship Hub startup club, Seed Wave Team (Representative Lee Yoon Chan, Park Hyung Jin, Lee Jae Sung, Yeo Yun Seo), was selected as the ultimate winner at the ‘Mongolia International IR Competition’ held in Mongolia on the 26th of last month.
The Mongol International IR Competition is a program aimed at discovering and nurturing global young entrepreneurs and supporting their entry into overseas markets. It is hosted by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KITA) under the ‘2025 Young Entrepreneur Cultivation Support Project’ and organized by the University Industry Technology Support Group under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, KAIST Entrepreneurship Center, and KAIST Youth Startup Investment Holding.
The winning team, Seed Wave from Kookmin University, received high praise for their startup item, the ‘Ecodrop’ – a seeding device and production technique designed to form dense plant clusters in desertified areas where natural plant growth is difficult. The team is growing as student entrepreneurs, achieving outstanding results such as receiving the final certification for the 2025 Student Startup Promising Team 300+ Growth Track and being selected as Kookmin University's Best Startup Club for the 2025 academic year.
Sohn Jin Sik, Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, stated, “We hope this outstanding student startup achievement marks the beginning of becoming a central hub for universities and the startup ecosystem through cultivating global young entrepreneurial talent. We will spare no effort in supporting the strengthening of Kookmin University's startup education capabilities going forward.”
Kookmin University established the ‘Entrepreneurship Hub,’ a dedicated startup organization, in April this year to spread university-centered entrepreneurship and cultivate outstanding young entrepreneurs. Through this hub, the university is accelerating the discovery and nurturing of student entrepreneurs by leveraging its excellent infrastructure, spearheaded by dedicated startup and investment personnel. Building on these entrepreneurship education achievements, the Entrepreneurship Hub plans to continue multifaceted support in collaboration with various institutions, including ACs and VCs. This support will focus on strengthening student startup capabilities, fostering growth into youth startups, and nurturing the development of global unicorn companies.
