[Seoul Economic Daily] Content-Based Manufacturing Startups Flourish with Support from Western Culture Creation Hub -

Many startups (early-stage companies) have growth potential due to excellent ideas and product manufacturing capabilities, but they face difficulties due to a lack of investment attraction capabilities. The Western Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub, operated by Gyeonggi Province and Siheung City, has been supporting investment attraction consulting and other services for 20 companies annually by selecting 10 companies in the first half and 10 companies in the second half to discover and foster such startups.
On the 1st, the Western Gyeonggi Cultural Creation Hub announced that it selected 10 companies through its '2019 Makers Startup Ecosystem Creation and Investment Attraction Support' 1st phase project. The 10 selected companies are manufacturing-content convergence/hybrid startups located in Gyeonggi Province for less than 7 years.
