Hanyang Cyber University (President Lee Gi-jeong) has partnered with Hanyang University’s Startup Support Team (Team Leader Ryu Chang-wan) to strengthen practical skills for aspiring entrepreneurs and build an innovative startup ecosystem.
On June 29, Hanyang Cyber University announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hanyang University’s Startup Support Team at the HIT Building. This agreement aims to leverage Hanyang University’s unique startup infrastructure and educational expertise to enhance the practical entrepreneurial capabilities of students and aspiring entrepreneurs.
The collaboration between Hanyang Cyber University, known for its flexible online learning environment, and Hanyang University, which operates one of the top offline startup ecosystems in the country, is expected to significantly improve access to startup support for Hanyang Cyber University students.
Under the MOU, the two institutions will collaborate in various areas, including the operation of programs to nurture entrepreneurs, mutual utilization of startup infrastructure, and sharing of networks and talent to enhance practical skills.
Ryu Chang-wan, head of Hanyang University’s Startup Support Team, stated, "We will provide practical and systematic customized startup services to promising entrepreneurs." Jeong Hyun-cheol, Vice President of Hanyang Cyber University, emphasized, "Through a strong partnership with Hanyang University’s Startup Support Team, we will diversify our startup support programs and actively promote innovative joint initiatives to drive startup success."
Prior to this MOU, Hanyang Cyber University had already been actively developing online and offline programs to enhance the entrepreneurial capabilities of its students and alumni in recent years. A notable example is the Hanyang Startup Academy, a practical entrepreneurship training program co-hosted by Seongdong District Office and Hanyang University and Hanyang Cyber University.
This program identifies aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs and provides expert lectures and dedicated mentoring covering the entire entrepreneurial cycle, including entrepreneurship, business model development, taxation, legal issues, and fundraising. Graduates have had their startup ideas objectively validated during a final demo day, with outstanding teams receiving investment opportunities from venture capitalists and accelerators.
Additionally, Hanyang Cyber University operates its own employment and startup support center, leveraging its remote university characteristics to offer a Startup Business Mission Nano Degree (part of the regular curriculum) and a bridge major in employment and entrepreneurship. Students systematically learn from idea generation to business plan writing and pitching skills through courses such as Entrepreneurship and Business Models in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Global Online Platform Startups, and Startup Human Resource Management, earning certificates signed by the president.
With this MOU, Hanyang Cyber University plans to further upgrade its startup support capabilities centered around the Career Development Center and actively contribute to the revitalization of the practical startup ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Hanyang Cyber University is currently recruiting new and transfer undergraduate students for the second semester of the 2026 academic year until July 16. Detailed information about admissions can be found on the Hanyang Cyber University Admissions Support Center website or through its KakaoTalk channel.
