Daejeon technology and startup ecosystem development
Overview
Daejeon City is implementing various initiatives to expand its regional technology and startup ecosystems. Through the ‘2026 Virtual Convergence Content Production & Advancement Support Project,’ the city and the Daejeon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency (DICIA) are supporting the development of content utilizing generative AI, XR, and the metaverse, with a specific focus on the defense and science sectors.
Building on these technological advancements, the city launched the ‘2026 Daejeon Startup City Creation Project’ to foster 75 companies in priority sectors such as bio-pharmaceuticals, space/defense, and AI/robotics. This initiative aims to decentralize the startup ecosystem from the Seoul metropolitan area by providing commercialization funding and growth programs. Notable developments include the execution phase of an ‘Advanced Bio Universal Autonomous Laboratory (SDL)’ to integrate robotics into cell culture processes.
