S. Korea attracts global startups with incentives and support
South Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups has unveiled 'Startup Korea,' a comprehensive plan aimed at propelling the nation into the league of global innovation leaders. At the heart of this vision is the creation of a 2 trillion won ($1.5 billion) Startup Korea Fund, as announced on August 30. This plan will serve as a blueprint outlining the nation's mid- and long-term startup policies. It also includes incentives and support measures to help global entrepreneurs start businesses in the nation with ease while relaxing visa regulations for global talent. The announcement took place during the 'Startup Korea Strategy Meeting,' presided over by President Yoon Seok-yeol at Cheong Wa Dae, the former presidential official office, in Seoul.
