The Korean companies are mostly engaged in the on-demand services, security, video and medical sectors, and had already received some 20 billion won ($17 million) in funding from venture capitalists and accelerators at home and abroad before the event.
About 60 global venture capital firms including Walden International and DFJ participated in the seminar to gauge the start-ups’ potential.
