Suseong University in Daegu has moved to strengthen the commercialization capabilities of student and alumni entrepreneurs while promoting a startup culture in the local community.

The university held its "2026 Academic Year Innovation Support Project Startup Flea Market" on Saturday at the outdoor plaza of the Suseong Happiness Dream Center on campus.

Twelve startup teams made up of current students and graduates took part in the event, showcasing and selling their products and services directly to visitors while gauging customer responses.

Participants gained hands-on experience running booths, handling customer inquiries, and carrying out marketing and sales activities, sharpening their practical entrepreneurship skills and assessing the market competitiveness of their products and services.

Kim Yeong-a, head of the university's career and employment support office, said the flea market was expected to serve as a springboard for entrepreneurs to test their market competitiveness and advance their ventures. "We will continue to expand practice-oriented startup education and commercialization support programs," Kim said.
