Abroad, we run programs
the same way we do at home
We take the startup programs we have run more than 5,000 times in Korea and deliver them as they are abroad.
Rather than simply dispatching lecturers, we run the entire startup journey — from scouting aspiring founders to IR events.
For ODA projects, we join consortia with universities and specialized institutions, with MAINCONTENTS leading the startup component.
