North Gyeongsang Technopark has built a cooperative framework with local startup support organizations to foster the growth of youth-founded companies and invigorate the startup ecosystem in Yeongcheon.

The technopark signed an MOU titled "MOU for Revitalizing the Yeongcheon Youth Startup Ecosystem" with four regional startup support centers at the Hilton Hotel in Gyeongju on Monday.

The signatory organizations include North Gyeongsang Technopark's Geumho Neighbor Village Support Center, the North Gyeongsang Youth Startup Support Center, Daegu University's Yeongcheon City Youth Startup Support Center and a local startup support center.

Under the agreement, the participating organizations will collaborate on jointly planning and operating startup support projects, identifying prospective entrepreneurs, providing startup education and mentoring, supporting commercialization and market expansion, and attracting investment.

The partners also plan to link each organization's startup support capabilities and infrastructure to deliver tailored assistance suited to each company's stage of growth, while strengthening the regional startup network.

The organizations will co-host a startup investment pitching day at The Land Tourist Hotel in Geumho-eup, Yeongcheon on Nov. 25.

Eight local startups are set to participate in the event, presenting their commercialization strategies and growth potential and receiving expert evaluations and advice to sharpen their ability to attract investment.

"We will use this agreement as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation among regional startup support organizations and work to foster the growth of youth-founded companies and vitalize the local startup ecosystem through joint support programs," said Ha In-seong, president of North Gyeongsang Technopark.
