Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) announced that it will host the “2026 B-Fisheries Industry Renaissance Youth Startup Concert” today, October 8, at 3:00 p.m. in Exhibition Hall 1 at BEXCO.

The event is hosted by Busan Metropolitan City and jointly organized by Busan Technopark and Synergy IB Investment Co., Ltd. Approximately 100 participants are expected to attend, including university students from the Busan area and aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs.

Under the slogan “From Startup to Growth: Taking Flight Toward New Horizons,” the concert is designed to help young people explore career opportunities in the fisheries sector and develop their entrepreneurial capabilities.

Held in conjunction with the Asian startup expo “FLY ASIA 2026,” the event aims to inspire greater interest in the fisheries industry among young people, encourage them to embrace new challenges, and provide opportunities to share entrepreneurial experiences and investment attraction strategies.

The concert will consist of three sessions featuring programs that share startup strategies and practical business expertise.

In the first session, young entrepreneurs who have recently launched businesses in the fisheries sector will share their firsthand experiences and practical knowledge gained throughout the startup process.

In the second session, Kang Da-yun, CEO of Nosh Project Co., Ltd., will deliver a presentation titled “Entrepreneurship: Navigating the Sea of Growth.” This will be followed by a presentation by Ham Seul-beom, Senior Investment Manager at Bluepoint, titled “The Potential of Youth Entrepreneurship from an Investor's Perspective,” covering market survival strategies and financing options for early-stage startups.

Following the presentations, the third session will feature a talk show hosted by comedian Kim Won-hyo, who is also a broadcaster and entrepreneur. The session will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss challenges encountered during the startup process and network with one another.

Participants will share real-life entrepreneurial experiences and the challenges they have overcome. Through an interactive question-and-answer session, they will also discuss concerns related to preparing to launch a business or managing an existing enterprise.

Shim Jae-min, Assistant Mayor of Maritime Capital Strategy Office at Busan Metropolitan City, said, “We hope this concert will provide an opportunity for aspiring and early-stage young entrepreneurs to share their concerns about starting a business and take on new challenges.”

He added, “We will continue our efforts to foster a supportive startup ecosystem so that Busan can grow into a leading hub for entrepreneurship in the maritime and fisheries sectors.”
