Gordon Media, a virtual reality content firm, representative Hae Wang Ma introduced a new program with which he said, “A spectator can vividly experience Gyeongbokgung Palace by traveling virtually through the inside of the buildings and seeing the people like they were during the Joseon era. Also we can open an Audio-visual classroom at school and experience history through virtual reality.” The president showed interest by saying, “The students will be able to learn by going into the virtual world (virtual reality classroom) and history may become a much more popular course.” The President mentioned Israel raking 1^st in the number of venture business per person even though it has a small population of 780 million people and said, “Those entrepreneurs not only initially considered of the domestic market, but also thought of running businesses globally and that is what helped them expand worldwide.” “There was a venture boom in the 1990s during which globally influential technologies such as MP3 players and the internet where developed at which time we handed over leadership because we thought of ourselves as only a small national market. Fortunately, we can now drive new businesses towards the global market from a leader position with this campus which is full of the spirit of creativity. The government will support these new ventures in every way it can,” promised the President. The Startup campus has three buildings (total area 54,075 m²) which more than 200 startups will move into. The target tenants are startups related to high technology ICBM fields such as Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud, Big Data, and Mobile. In the campus there will be support organizations for foundation and innovation. A Creative Economy Innovation Center will also move in to support businesses throughout every step of their development from establishment to breaking into the international market. Furthermore, more than ten support organizations such as NIPA, IITP, KISA, Yoma Campus, and SAP App House will move in. The ‘Grand ICT Research Center’, jointly run by Sungkyunkwan University and Kyung Hee University, is planning to foster professional manpower by operating engineering master’s degree courses and joint R&D meetings based on company requests. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning will be providing 415 billion won to the Startup Campus this year on top of private investments. Moreover, they are trying to attract global firms to the ‘2^nd Pangyo Valley’ by the end of next year in order to make Pangyo Creative Economy Valley the pioneer cluster of the creative economy.
