“Daegu used to lead Korea’s textile industry. The city played a locomotive role in achieving the ‘Miracle on the Han.’ I believe Daegu should increase the pace of change as we shift toward higher-tech industries in order to rise again and to open the door to a brighter future,” said the president.
The Daegu CCEI is the first CCEI across the country, offering both financial services and office space to new one- or two-person companies. The Samsung Group has been contracted to provide mentoring services and various other support services at this center.
In the future, the government plans to set up CCEIs in a total of 17 locations nationwide, each in cooperation with a leading corporation. These centers will help individuals with business ideas to make their ideas come true and provide other various support services. Such services include the provision of funds to establish an office and staff, technology financing, crowd sourcing and the opening of new markets, all in cooperation with the leading corporations.
