One of noticeable programs with a special attention in this Expo was ‘Best of the Best Business Start-up’ full of student’s creative start-up items. Students as future founders displayed their ’business plans’ for open evaluation in the Best of the Best Business Start-up, which was organized to encourage a start-up friendly environment in YU. From this business competition, students could try to explore business start-up items and plan business models by themselves. It is hopefully expected to enhance their practical competence and motivation of business start-up.

 ‘YU TECH-BIZ Meeting Place’ was organized to commercialize the excellent technologies, developed by university, under cooperation with industry. Excellent technologies developed by YU were exhibited and attracted a great attention from the participant companies. Technical consulting and techno-financial consulting were actively taken place on the subjects of technology commercialization and technology financing, respectively, between YU and the companies. In addition, local companies gave a patent application consulting to students. Such industry-academic cooperation programs earned a good response during the Expo.   
 
Mr. Bae Cheolho, director of YU LINC+ Project Group, organized this 2017 YU Expo and mentioned, “This Expo was planned to encourage the opportunity of employment based on the industry-academic cooperation in the local society, support a cultivation of hidden champions through interactive cooperation between industry and academy and create shared value of society for mutual development of local society.” He added also, “I hopefully expect it’s a very meaningful time to look at excellent outcomes of industry-academic cooperation and find out very brilliant ideas of business and start-up items from YU students.”
