PKNU Selected for the Official Leading University for Startup
- Up to ₩17,500,000,000 of budget support during 5 years

Pukyong National University was named the Small and Medium Business Administration’s 2016 Leading Universities for Startup Business - Official Training School Type, after the last year’s designation as a General Type School.  

The change in the school type allows the University to be funded with a further 5 billion won budget, for a total up to ₩17,500,000,000 for 5 years by 2020. 
Only three universities in the entire nation, Pukyong National University, Chungbuk National University and Korea Polytechnic University, were selected for the official school type this year. 
This official type school is chosen among the general type schools, which can fuel the dreams of future entrepreneurs including university students, to amplify and boost its capacity and infrastructure through intensive support. 
With this, PKNU’s Startup Business Support Group starts new programs, including Warm-up Space, Intensive Education Program and Tailor-made Mentoring, along with the existing programs.  
The Warm-up Space where the members can create prototypes and concentrate on the academic side, mentoring, technical meeting and marketing will be arranged in the Center of Industry-University Cooperation, the Engineering Building #3 and the Student Union Building on Yongdang Campus with 18 rooms of 1406.29 square meters in total.  
Different stages of startup education as well as the customized mentoring by experienced and knowledgeable mentors are also provided for the enhancement of the capacity.
The new programs will open this May.
Kwon Sun-mok, leader of the PKNU Startup Business Support Group, said “We have focused on finding and raising the necessary manpower and developing a list of items for startup. Now we are ready to take an active role in creating a startup ecosystem of the region and helping the success of future entrepreneurs.”  <Pukyong Today>
