Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok, announced on July 13 that it held the internal conference 'Woowa Tech Day' and the youth startup support program 'Woowa Baton' at Baemin Startup Square in Pangyo, Seongnam, on July 9 and 10.
Woowa Tech Day was the company's first internal technology-related event since its founding. The conference featured presentations on various topics, including practical applications of generative AI tools like Claude and processes for handling obstacles, attended by many developers and non-developers interested in technology.
Interactive activities included a 'Prompt Speedrun' competition, an analog mini-game zone, and a search for hidden 'Easter eggs' throughout the venue.
The following day, July 10, Woowa Baton took place. A total of 11 teams, including participants and graduates of Baemin's IT talent development program 'Woowa Tech Course' and companies based at Baemin Startup Square, competed to showcase their skills.
The hackathon format paired aspiring entrepreneurs with capable Woowa Tech Course trainees to create functional service prototypes within a limited time frame.
To ensure the event's impact extends beyond a one-time occurrence, Baemin plans to collaborate with the Gyeonggi Creative Economy Innovation Center to offer follow-up programs, including support for business plan development and advanced lectures.
Ko Myung-seok, Chief Technology Officer of Woowa Brothers, stated, "While Woowa Tech Day was a platform to strengthen our internal technical capabilities and culture, Woowa Baton aimed to extend that capability to young talent and the startup ecosystem." He added, "We will continue to play a leading role in the IT and startup market through an ecosystem that encompasses talent development, startup nurturing, and commercialization support."
Meanwhile, Woowa Brothers is enhancing its support for startups centered around Baemin Startup Square, providing part of the space to resident companies and startup support organizations for free for ten years to assist the growth of early-stage startups, young entrepreneurs, and social innovators.
