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.

Local Market Validation & Commercialization Program in Ho Chi Minh City
Pre-startup teams refined their business ideas to fit the local market environment and consumer characteristics. The program included meetings with local startup support organizations and companies, an academic seminar at a university, a networking session with the Korean community in Vietnam, and hands-on exploration of the retail landscape. It also covered signing MOUs with local partner networks and translating program materials in advance.
