The Guro district office and Seoul Venture Incubator (SVI) are partnering with startup supporting media company beSUCCESS to host ‘Guro Innovation Summit’ on July 18th, 2019 in Guro district, Seoul in South Korea. The event will be held at the G-Valley Convention.
The aim of the event is to bring in innovative and enterprising startups on a common forum to pitch for funds from Venture capitalists and investors. The success of the South Korean startup ecosystem is globally known and the recent rise of Korean billionaire startups in 2018 has attracted the attention of many international and domestic investors.
The July 18th event will have 12 startups selected to pitch for their product and service. There will be at least 150 attendees at the event. Local entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors will be called for the event. There will also be invitees from international markets, especially those who have an interest in investing in Korean startups or those visiting S. Korea at that time of the year.
