The Seoul Metropolitan Government will create an opportunity for domestic and foreign start-up companies and investors to gather in one place to hold matching and investment attraction meetings between companies interested in each other, and to seek cooperation such as technology partnerships.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 19th that it will hold the global startup festival Try Everything 2022 at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) from the 21st to the 23rd. It is a festival where members of the startup ecosystem, including 120 investment companies including 20 overseas companies and more than 1,300 startups including 30 overseas companies, will gather, the largest since the event. Since 2020, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has held Tri Everything every September to revitalize the startup ecosystem.
On the 21st, the first day of the opening, Sebastian Borget, the founder of “The Sandbox,” will take the podium as a keynote speaker to share insights on ways to achieve cooperation such as opening information and technology between companies, cities and countries. Professor Tyler Cowen, a world-renowned economic authority, will then deliver a keynote speech on the subject of private autonomy and public role.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government will then hold a “Seoul Open Innovation Vision Declaration Ceremony,” which will become a platform and create a link.
Speakers from home and abroad will also give lectures. Overseas speakers include Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life, the founder of Metabus, the CEO of The Tetris Company, who owns the world-famous puzzle game Tetris brand, and Spanish startup’s founder and founder of María Bermia.
