, “‘The Startup Support Project for Selected Proposals’ is a project to discover and support startup ideas that utilize Uljin’s local resources and cultural characteristics, providing up to 30 million won in funding per team to preliminary and early-stage entrepreneurs. The eligible applicants are those aged 19 to 49 residing in Uljin County, who are either preliminary entrepreneurs or business operators within three years of startup.”,
“‘The Gyeongbuk Youth Preliminary Start-up and Fostering Program’ is a program to support the entrepreneurship and creation of young individuals with technological skills and business feasibility, offering up to 12 million won in funding. It is open to preliminary entrepreneurs or early-stage business operators within one year of startup, aged 19 to 39.”,
‘The application period is from February 25 to March 10, and applications can be submitted via mail or email through the East Sea Industrial Research Institute. More details can be found in the notice/bulletin section of the Uljin County website.’,
‘Following last year’s support for six teams and a total of seven young entrepreneurs, the county plans to continue providing various settlement support policies for young people, including startup funding, moving fees, monthly rent assistance, and qualification acquisition support.’,
‘An Uljin County official stated, “We aim to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem where young people can stay and grow by discovering startup ideas that reflect local characteristics and providing stable early-stage settlement support.”‘,
‘In a situation where the risk of regional extinction is intensifying, youth entrepreneurship support is evaluated as a key strategy that goes beyond mere job policies to simultaneously drive the transition of the local industrial structure and improve residential conditions. Particularly in resource-rich areas like Uljin, where there are abundant marine, tourism, and agro-fisheries resources, region-specific startups are likely to lead directly to regional brand competitiveness. If continuous funding is combined with market routes, mentoring, and settlement support in an organic manner, the tangible results of youth entrepreneurship policies are expected to become even more visible.’,
