Hong Yoo introduces to us "Come Up"
South Korea's biggest startup festival began on Thursday... with the aim of sparking a startup boom around the world... and helping local ones expand abroad.
It was organized by the ministry of SMEs to find outstanding entrepreneurs and create an ecosystem that connects them to startups abroad.
"We hope this event can represent the Asian startup platform and become as big as [Finland's startup event], 'Slush Helsinki'. I hope young entrepreneurs will dream of making our society better and warmer."
A total of 80 startups from around 20 countries are taking part in this event to showcase their business and look for valuable investment.
Of the 80 startups at the festival, some were chosen to give an IR pitch.
One of those was Teplo, a company that's created a tea brewing machine that automatically senses the type of tea put in to brew and the environment such as the user's body temperature, mood and room temperature.
"Right now we have a team in Tokyo, Japan as well as in India. We came here to talk with potential partners in Korea and build relations with them to expand our business in Korea."
Also chosen for an IR pitch was Nearthlab, which has created an autonomous AI-powered drone that uses smart analytics to detect defects at industrial facilities.
"We serve 50 percent of Korea's wind power market. And with this technology, we're expanding our business to Japan and the U.S. Through this event, we hope to find new markets and customers that share our values."
Divided into 8 sectors such as food tech, fintech, mobility and entertainment, the festival will feature talks by some successful CEOs... such as the heads of Junction, a Finnish startup, and P-R-E from France.
The festival ends on Friday.
