The Seoul National University Campus Town Business Team, led by Director Kim Tae-wan, successfully hosted the '2023 Southwest Campus Town-Startup Institution Joint Networking (SNL Day)' at the Seoul Partners House Convention Hall in Yongsan-gu on October 20th.
The event, which involved Seoul's southwest university campus towns and startup institutions, saw participation from approximately 60 individuals, including employees and stakeholders of startups affiliated with the campus towns and startup institutions, as well as judges and professional investors. Eight companies participated in the event, including TripBuilder (a smart healthcare DX for tourism big data infrastructure and personalized AI solutions), NewGym (a personalized healthcare commerce platform based on nutritional physiological pharmacological knowledge), Alopexalgo (AI service in the bio-medical field utilizing a giant language model), Elbio (development of siRNA nano-anticancer agents using polymer vectors with low toxicity and high gene delivery efficiency), Smadian (an AI-integrated early childhood monitoring system and parenting diary app to assist in children's safety and health), Pinwheel (a platform for matching jobs for people with disabilities), and Leaders of Green Society (an ESG crowdsourcing platform based on eco-friendly certification rewarding services).
The event consisted of an opening ceremony, an IR pitching competition, and 1:1 free networking sessions with participating companies, followed by a closing session. Elbio (Seoul National University Campus Town) secured the first place in the IR pitching competition, with TripBuilder (Sungkyunkwan University Campus Town) taking the second place. The 1:1 free networking sessions provided attendees with an opportunity to engage in free discussions and share concerns among themselves, receiving positive responses from the participants.
A representative from the business team stated, "The event was significant in providing opportunities for information sharing and collaboration among the startups located in the southwest region of Seoul. We will continue our efforts to promote the expansion of entrepreneurship in the region by facilitating regular communication and collaboration between neighboring universities and startup institutions."
