A project team from SKKU's Graduate School of China (Dean, Yongjune KIM) received a participation award at the "4th Young Start-up League" held on June 28th.
The participants of the league were start-up owners with less than 3 years of experience and the topic was about ideas for restaurants and food businesses. Ideas were submitted from February and 12 teams were selected for the final round. The teams prepared for the final round by spending time with expert mentors and joining lectures.
GSC's team won the participation award after proposing a start-up idea for "new distribution" (on and offline distribution method using big data and AI), which is a term popular in China. They suggested that it will increase efficiency and benefit both farmers and small business owners. The team is performing curator services for farmers and was able to profit by selling directly to small business owners.
This is the fourth year of the Young Start-up League. It is run through a joint cooperation of Hite Jinro Corp. and Seoul Start-up Hub.
