Entrepreneurship Education & Seed Funding Support

We foster an environment where aspiring entrepreneurs can thrive on their own by offering initial financial support through the university's internal startup competition, providing intellectual property education through the IP Strategy Center, and leveraging the external collaboration network of the Industry-University Cooperation Foundation to discover, nurture, and support students' promising ideas from incubation to commercialization.
Systematic Financial Support Customized to Startup Growth Stages

We assist early-stage ventures in transitioning from the challenging Seed-Series A stage, often termed the 'Death Valley' in the startup ecosystem, to the point where their initial commercialization efforts gain value, paving the way for substantial growth.
Corporate Operations Strategy and Infrastructure Support

We provide the foundation for startup companies to grow steadily, offering incubation spaces, recruitment programs, and mentoring systems. In collaboration with accelerators, we foster KENTECH's startups into leading companies in the energy innovation industry by not only providing workspace but also supporting the residential needs of company employees in coordination with local authorities, connecting them with top talents, and conducting education and seminars to enhance the capabilities of entrepreneurs.
