YU’s success cases of industry-academic cooperation got together. ‘2017 YU Industry-Academic Cooperation Expo’ was held on November 14 at Chunma Arts Center in YU. This Expo was organized in order to share the success case of industry-academic cooperation, establish the cooperation system with industries, activate student employment and encourage business start-up. Lots of professors, students and local companies showed a high interest.
This Expo was jointly held by YU LINC+ Project Group and the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation and jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Education, the Korea Research Foundation and YU. This Expo showed a variety of exhibits such as ∆ Exhibit of industry-academic joint technical development projects, ∆ Exhibit of the success cases of work experience, ∆ Exhibit of excellent technologies explored (TECH-BIZ Meeting Place), ∆ Exhibit of success cases of manufacture support for prototype and ∆ 2017 Best of the Best Business Start-up.
One of noticeable programs with a special attention in this Expo was ‘Best of the Best Business Start-up’ full of student’s creative start-up items. Students as future founders displayed their ’business plans’ for open evaluation in the Best of the Best Business Start-up, which was organized to encourage a start-up friendly environment in YU. From this business competition, students could try to explore business start-up items and plan business models by themselves. It is hopefully expected to enhance their practical competence and motivation of business start-up.
‘YU TECH-BIZ Meeting Place’ was organized to commercialize the excellent technologies, developed by university, under cooperation with industry. Excellent technologies developed by YU were exhibited and attracted a great attention from the participant companies. Technical consulting and techno-financial consulting were actively taken place on the subjects of technology commercialization and technology financing, respectively, between YU and the companies. In addition, local companies gave a patent application consulting to students. Such industry-academic cooperation programs earned a good response during the Expo.
Mr. Bae Cheolho, director of YU LINC+ Project Group, organized this 2017 YU Expo and mentioned, “This Expo was planned to encourage the opportunity of employment based on the industry-academic cooperation in the local society, support a cultivation of hidden champions through interactive cooperation between industry and academy and create shared value of society for mutual development of local society.” He added also, “I hopefully expect it’s a very meaningful time to look at excellent outcomes of industry-academic cooperation and find out very brilliant ideas of business and start-up items from YU students.”
