Why do you pick South Korea?
According to the latest Global Innovation Index report, South Korea is ranked among the top 15 most innovative country in the world and is the leader in the area of information & communication technologies and patent applications. Without much natural resources, South Korea focuses on innovations to compete with other countries.
The startup ecosystem in South Korea is undergoing a change in cultural mindset. Young adults are becoming more interested to the idea of starting their own businesses instead of joining big Korean conglomerates such as Samsung or LG. In 2015, the third most startup funding (US$1.7 billion) in Asia is awarded to a South Korean startup.
Singapore, in some ways, is similar to South Korea and seeing their success, I am really interested to have a first hand experience in understanding their startup ecosystem and learn how we can be like them.
What types of business interest you?
“Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.”
