Expert-Practitioner Workshop and Korea Showcase: Startup Ecosystem Development 6 to 10 November 2023 The Asian Development Bank (ADB), in partnership with a variety of public and private partners, initiated a program to help its member countries evolve enabling startup ecosystems. In 2019, a workshop on “Tech Start-ups Support Program in Asia and the Pacific” was organized in Seoul. Building on this engagement, ADB organized an Expert-Practitioner Workshop & Korea Showcase on Startup Ecosystem Development, from 6-10 November 2023 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Participants were exposed to the Korean startup ecosystem development journey, current institutional arrangements and partnerships, and learned from the experiences of various stakeholders.
