[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 29th that it is beginning to recommend candidates for residency in the startup support housing 'Youth e-Room' located within Poil Intelligent Town (678 Poil-dong).

Uiwang City's startup support housing 'Youth e-Room' is a 'customized startup housing' that combines stable residence and startup space for young entrepreneurs at rental rates below market prices. The facility will comprise 83 households and will be equipped with community spaces for young entrepreneurs and spaces for external events. Move-in is scheduled for December.

The recruitment targets startup founders in regional strategic industries based in Uiwang and employees of single-person creative companies and regional strategic industry enterprises.
