Gyeonggi Province Seeks 30 Startups to Collaborate with World Economic Forum

The Gyeonggi Province Center for the 4th Industrial Revolution is recruiting 30 innovative startups until the 17th for the '2026 Korea Frontier' program, in partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF). This program offers promising domestic companies leading next-generation technologies opportunities to grow on the global stage. 'Korea Frontier' is a startup-exclusive innovator community program that identifies promising companies with high potential for global market entry and supports their growth into next-generation unicorn enterprises. Last year, participants from the program joined the annual innovator community conference in New York, USA, to engage with global corporations and investors.

This year's recruitment targets companies leading future growth industries such as AI/Semiconductors, Smart Manufacturing, Climate, Bio, and GovTech. To qualify, applicants must have cumulative investments of at least 3 billion KRW, and their CEO or co-founders must be able to communicate and present in English.

Selected companies will receive benefits until February 2027, including global business development consulting, opportunities to participate in the Summer Davos Forum and the innovator community annual conference, and premium membership for cutting-edge technology and industry information from the WEF.
