내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will host the 2026 Joint Briefing on Busan Startup Support Programs together with nine startup support institutions at 13:30 on Feb. 10 at Busan Eurasia Platform (located at Busan Station in Dong-gu).

This briefing will be held at Busan Eurasia Platform, a leading innovation startup hub in the Busan area, to improve accessibility for (prospective) entrepreneurs. Approximately 300 people are expected to attend, including (prospective) entrepreneurs, startup companies, and related organizations and associations.

A total of nine startup support institutions—including the Busan Startup Investment Agency, the Busan Regional Office of SMEs and Startups, the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, and the Busan Center for Creative Economy and Innovation—will participate to present each institution’s support policies and provide on-site consultations for (prospective) entrepreneurs and startup companies.

This event was prepared to provide comprehensive guidance on the startup support programs implemented by the Busan Startup Investment Agency on behalf of Busan Metropolitan City, as well as programs promoted by other local startup support institutions. Through on-site consultations by experts from each startup support institution and field, the event aims to lower barriers to entry for (prospective) early-stage entrepreneurs and support business operations.

The briefing will consist of: Part 1 Startup Special Lecture, Part 2 Policy Briefing Session, and Part 3 On-site Consultation.

In Part 1, Han Myeong-su, Chief Customer Officer (CCO) of Woowa Brothers Corp., will speak on the topic “The Reality of Entrepreneurship and Decision-Making,” sharing real-world experiences from the startup journey and insights on decision-making.

In Part 2, seven institutions, including the Busan Startup Investment Agency, will introduce startup support programs and policy financing. In Part 3, nine startup support institutions and six experts across four fields—general management, marketing, tax accounting, and patents—will provide one-on-one tailored on-site consultations.

Advance registration for the Part 1 Startup Special Lecture, Part 2 Policy Briefing Session, and Part 3 field-specific expert consulting is available through the Busan Startup Portal website (www.busanstartup.kr). Participation in Part 2 institution-specific consultations is available through on-site registration.

The event will be held both offline and online simultaneously. The online livestream will be broadcast in real time through the startup YouTube channel “B Star TV” (youtube.com/@BstarTV).

To ease on-site congestion on the day of the event, three additional live-stream viewing rooms within the Eurasia Platform (Rooms 105, 107, and 110) will be operated so that participants can join the briefing not only in the main venue (Room 109) but also in other spaces.

In addition, a “Startup Support Program Guidebook” containing more than 150 startup support programs across seven fields will be distributed on site. An e-book version will also be produced and posted on the Busan Startup Portal website.
