Kangwon Land's Social Contribution Foundation signed a business agreement with Gangwon State Global Headquarters at Jeongseon High1 Palace Hotel on the 9th to promote startups in the restaurant industry in the coal industry transition area.
About 10 officials from both organizations, including Kim Ik-rae, executive director of the foundation, and Son Chang-hwan, global head of the Gangwon State, attended the signing ceremony.
The agreement was designed to increase the effectiveness of supporting restaurant businesses in coal-industry transition areas and strengthen the success rate and sustainability of startups by linking the Jeong Tae-young Sam Matkada project operated by the foundation with Gangwon State's Start-up Revitalization Support Project.
"Jung Tae Young-sam Taste Catcher" is the foundation's representative small business support project that has provided menu consulting, store environment improvement, and public relations know-how to small restaurants in coal-industry transition areas since 2017.
The foundation supported the reopening of 33 stores until last year through the "Jung Tae Young-sam Taste Pickada" project, and is considered a practical regional win-win model, with average sales of supporting restaurants increasing 136% compared to before the application.
"This agreement is significant in that it is a cooperative model that combines Gangwon State's policy support and the foundation's field experience," said an official from Kangwon Land, who spoke to this newspaper by phone.
