How many points is OASIS-9 worth?

30 points, in the prerequisite table of the D-8-4 matrix — the same row that carries government startup support programs and OASIS 6, printed together at 30 points. At least one prerequisite item is required on a D-8-4 sheet.

What does OASIS-9 support cover?

The operator prints three streams: initial commercialization expenses, R&D support and post-management. The two-sentence description prints no amounts, application route, selection process or dates.

Why do other resources describe OASIS 9 differently?

The OASIS-9 number is contested elsewhere: other sites use it for a different purpose. This post quotes only the operator's own item — Support Start-Up Items Commercialization at 30 points — and does not attempt to reconcile the competing namings.

No. The operator prints no syllabus, hours or attendance rule for OASIS-9. The description runs to two sentences and the item scores as a recipient row, not a course row.

Do OASIS-6 and OASIS-9 stack their points together?

The printed row carries them together at 30 points, and the operator's joint-participation rule divides points equally among joint participants. The page prints no mechanism for scoring both OASIS-6 and OASIS-9 separately on one sheet.

How do these 30 points compare with holding a patent?

A held patent scores 60 — the largest printed value on the prerequisite table. The OASIS-9 row scores 30, as do utility model or design holders, co-inventors on registered patents and long E-1/E-3 stays. A secured investment of ₩100 million or more scores 60.

OASIS-9, Support Start-Up Items Commercialization: the other 30 prerequisite points on the D-8-4 matrix

OASIS-9 is Support Start-Up Items Commercialization on the operator's D-8-4 page: 30 prerequisite points for early-stage policy support with three printed streams — initial commercialization expenses, R&D and post-management. The operator prints no syllabus or hours for it.

What the two printed sentences name
The 30 points, and the row they sit in
When it runs, and how to apply

The three named OASIS-9 streams — initial commercialization expenses, R&D support and post-management — tied to the shared 30-point prerequisite row, the equal-division rule, and a printed note that the page carries no schedule or syllabus for the item

The operator's list has two 30-point programmes. OASIS-6 fills an exhibition; OASIS-9 funds the road after an idea, and shares the same row of the matrix.

The listing prints the item in two sentences and no more. That makes OASIS-9 the least documented item on the page carrying the biggest printed financial weight — money for early-stage founders.

What the two printed sentences name

The first sentence sets the frame: promoting successful start-up immigration with policy support for start-ups at the early stage.

The second names the streams:

Printed stream	As phrased
Initial commercialization expenses	Provided, alongside the other streams
R&D support	Printed without amount, stage or selection rule
Post-management	Printed as the third stream, same sparse rule

That is the entire description. No amounts, no application route, no selection process, and no dates appear on the page.

The 30 points, and the row they sit in

OASIS-9 scores in the prerequisite table, in a mixed row:

Prerequisite row	Points
IPR holder, patent	60
IPR holder, utility model or design	30
Co-inventor on a registered right	30 / 10
IPR applicant	Up to 10 / 5
Government startup support programs, OASIS 6 or OASIS 9 recipient	30
E-1 or E-3 stay over 3 years	30
Secured investment of 100+ million KRW	60

The row carries footnote [1], which defines the government-programme half: direct business funding of 30 million KRW or more from central government agencies, for individuals who missed exemption conditions such as the Minister-recommendation letter or the two-year eligibility period. At least one prerequisite item must appear on every D-8-4 sheet.

Rounds open on the operator's published schedule. The live calendar tracks each round as it opens, including the centre running it and the application window for each round.

When it runs, and how to apply

The operator keeps one schedule page for the whole programme. It prints an application window, an announcement date and class days, round by round.

It prints no round for OASIS-9. Treat that page as where a round would appear, and ask the centre directly in the meantime.

For a 30-point item that funds commercialization, that silence is the largest gap on the operator's site.
