Kangwon Land will accept applications from participating companies for the "2026 Coal Industry Transition Region Corporate Relocation Project" until the 30th.

This project is a follow-up to the "Next Unicorn Project," aimed at responding to the crisis of population decline and securing new growth drivers for the region. It will be carried out in cooperation with Kangwon Land, Kangwon National University, the Dae-SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) and Agriculture-Fisheries Cooperation Foundation, and four cities and counties in the coal industry transition region (Jeongseon, Taebaek, Yeongwol, and Samcheok).

The recruitment targets approximately 3,500 companies that have received support from or graduated from the Small and Medium Venture Startup Center University Project. Applications can be submitted through channels such as the "K-Startup Support Portal." Following an open competition process that includes document review, preliminary rounds, corporate consulting and regional surveys, and final rounds, three companies are planned to be ultimately selected in December.

Selected companies will receive up to 1 billion won in relocation support funds.

A Kangwon Land official told this outlet over the phone, "We hope this project will serve as an opportunity to secure new growth drivers for the coal industry transition region while fostering corporate growth."
