Through the cooperation project with the Yongmun Traditional Market, our university’s Research & Business Development Foundation is to promote projects that can revitalize the traditional market and create new jobs for young people by attracting residents as well as diverse new customers. In addition, by converging the prominent characteristics of the nearby Yongsan Electronics Market and the school’s innovative contents, the foundation also plans to promote development of specialized products, production of trial products with educational contents, development of marketing services, etc.

There are expectations that “education-to-practice” can become a reality by utilizing ideas that can be applied in the market among diverse contents from the Capstone Design Classes being implemented as a part of the Campus Town Project, “Value Up Together!” competition, and entrepreneurship competitions, and actualizing the idea into reality and finally connecting the idea to student entrepreneurship.
The officials of our university’s Research & Business Development Foundation said, “Through this 2-year project, we will be able to increase our university’s social contribution and provide an opportunity to create local jobs rather than large businesses for the students,” and “We are hoping this can become a chance to improve individual competence and the driving force behind regional development.”
