“Expert Advice on Funding and Startup Space”…Korea Western Power Signs Agreement with Hanseo University and Chungnam Venture Association for Chungnam Startup Competition

Korea Western Power is strengthening its step-by-step startup support system for promising startup teams in South Chungcheong Province, from discovery and commercialization to follow-up growth.

KOWEPO said on the 30th that it signed a business agreement on the 29th with Hanseo University and the Chungnam Venture Association at the Chungnam Regional Community Platform in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, to ensure the successful hosting of the Chungnam Sustainable Development Goals Startup Competition.

Under the agreement, the three organizations will recruit competition participants through September and then select outstanding startup teams after a review process. The selected teams will receive programs tailored to each growth stage, including commercialization funding, expert mentoring, and connections with local venture companies through the end of the year.

KOWEPO will oversee the competition, secure funding, provide mentoring in eco-friendly energy and Environmental, Social, and Governance fields, and identify follow-up support measures for award-winning teams.

Hanseo University will provide on-campus and off-campus startup resources and programs to encourage participation from students and local young people, while the Chungnam Venture Association will help refine the business models of participating teams using experts and support exchanges between outstanding teams and local companies.

“This agreement is highly meaningful because it combines the startup incubation foundation we have built with Hanseo University and the expertise and local network of the Chungnam Venture Association,” said Song Seung-nam, head of KOWEPO’s Procurement and Cooperation Division. “The three organizations will work closely together so that outstanding ideas can be turned into real businesses and grow into sustainable companies.”
