K-startup Grand Challenge

We would like to introduce the all-living-expenses-paid program for global startups to do business in Korea.

Korean government's accelerator program K-Startup Grand Challenge (KSGC), supported by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) and organized by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), is inviting applications from startups all over the world. 

The 60 selected global teams will participate in the accelerator program from August 1st to November 15th, 2022.  

Each of the 60 teams will receive $11,136 to cover living expenses for the 3.5 months. 

The top ten performing teams will get monetary grants worth $320,000. Also, the top thirty startups will get further assistance to expand business in Korea.

The accelerator program will help startups establish corporate and institutional networks in South Korea and also offer mentoring from industry experts.
