Bunicon Seed Program (Busan Preliminary Startup Package)

Run by Busan Startup Investment Agency (BSIA).

Seed is the entry tier of the Busan Startup Investment Agency's Bunicon ladder, open to registered businesses and running February to December 2026, with operation April to November. It awards up to KRW 20,000,000 in business commercialisation funds for materials and outsourcing costs, with a basic award of KRW 5,000,000. The funding is a government support grant tied to business registration rather than an equity investment, so no stake is taken; the format is not published.
