Various Elements Add Flavor to the KU Campus Town Project

In the section dedicated to startups, teams from KU and other universities in the northeastern region of Seoul introduced their startup ideas through experiential exhibitions, while also selling merchandise. In addition, some companies did on-site recruitment of skilled job applicants, which was a great opportunity for college students who are interested in learning more about the recruiting process. Participants were able to learn about various startup companies including Lifestyle Lab, which offers customers a convenient one-step process for accessing store information, ordering products or services, and making payments; Iiko, an online tutoring platform for international school students; and POPL, a smart fine dust notification device. For aspiring entrepreneurs it was an invaluable experience in terms of the useful and helpful information provided.



The second thematic section dedicated to employment was comprised of a variety of elements. There were public interviews with startup representatives and HR managers alongside the promotional booths of large and medium-sized companies. Moreover, startup consulting services were available and information related to the use of suitable photographs in resumes, in addition to opportunities to meet corporate personnel managers in person, all of which was more than enough to attract the attention of student job hunters.



In the arts section, there were art exhibitions and cultural performances, and a flea market organized by Anam residents and young adults. Residents and college students in Seongbuk-gu together organized various performances and traditional games, both international and Korean. The event even included programs for children which helped them to learn about historical figures from the region. Food stalls and resident-oriented events held for charitable purposes were also to be found at the fair.
