[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Uiwang City has formulated detailed operational plans for the startup support space to be established in the Foil Eoulim Center in July, moving forward with the creation of a startup ecosystem for the development of startups.
The startup support space being created on floors 5-8 within the Foil Eoulim Center, located in Foil-dong, Uiwang City (82 Anyang Pangyo-ro), is composed of facilities designed to discover and attract promising startups and nurture competitive enterprises.
The space spans a total dedicated area of 3,456 square meters, consisting of the 5th floor Makerspace (manufacturing startups), 6th floor Business Growth Support Center (growth-stage companies), 7th floor Startup Incubation Center (early-stage startups), and 8th floor Startup Support Center (solo creators and prospective entrepreneurs), with 61 promising startups expected to move in.
Over the past three years, the city benchmarked more than 30 major domestic and international startup support spaces and gathered opinions from startup experts in various fields to create this startup support space.
Reflecting this, the city signed a business agreement with Hyundai Motor last July focusing on cooperation for the creation of Uiwang City's startup ecosystem, and is expecting synergistic effects for startup growth through collaboration with large, medium, and small enterprises, as well as future-oriented advanced materials, parts, and equipment companies.
Meanwhile, recruitment of new tenants for the Foil Eoulim Center will take place next month, and companies selected through document and interview screening will be able to move in starting July 1. The related recruitment notice will be posted on the K-Startup website and the Uiwang City Office website.
Kim Sang-don, Mayor of Uiwang City, stated, "The startup ecosystem is an important driving force that will lead Uiwang City's future, and we have been expanding and promoting startup support projects accordingly," and added, "We look forward to many startup companies growing and leaping forward through the newly established startup support space in Uiwang City."
