Ajou University’s 'Leaders in INdustry-college Cooperation (LINC)’ Project Group participated in the 19th World-OKTA Leaders Convention for global industry-academia cooperation.

The Convention was held from April 26th to the 28th at KINTEX, Goyang City. World-OKTA is the largest association of overseas Korean traders and has 25,000 members in 145 branches in 73 countries. This year, it featured a variety of events, including export consulting meetings for small- and medium-sized companies, under the slogan “Establishment of an Economic Network for the Korean People and the Development of the Korean Economy.”


During the event, Ajou University operated a booth to promote the programs carried out by the LINC Project Group. In particular, the University agreed with World-OKTA members to expand global internship partner companies, participate in the business start-up school, and apply for corporate support, etc.


In addition, 16 partner companies of Ajou University were represented at the event. Staff members from the companies, including BNC, explained their products to the businesspeople, discussed exports, and shared information about overseas markets. The partner companies plan to continue to work together with the University for education on industry-academia cooperation and support for technological innovation programs, etc.
