Social enterprise start-up ideas contest

2011.08.04

    Cooperating with Work Together Foundation, Hyosung has been running the ‘Social Enterprise Start-up Ideas Contest’ since June.. Three teams have been chosen after careful screening, and they have each won start-up funds of 25 million won at the Hyosung HQ on August 4. The winners include: ‘Clean Mommy’, which runs a laundry plant to support the self-sufficiency of single mothers and their infant care; ‘Polang Polang’, which trains marginalized groups into animal experts and helps abandoned pets get adopted to new homes; and ‘Ja-a Manse’, which offers a chance for education to autistic children by selling goods designed with paintings by autistic children. The Work Together Foundation will work with Hyosung to help these startups get established and grow, through education support, business consulting, and management training.
