Pangyo Startup Campus: 60 seats, and a "Global" track that still wants a Pangyo address

The Pangyo Startup Campus, run through Gyeonggi's startup platform, incubates 60 companies across three tracks including a Growth/Global category. Its separate Global Startup programme, aimed at overseas expansion, requires the applicant to already be based in Pangyo or Gyeonggi Province.

Pangyo Startup Campus runs incubation for 60 companies at a time, through the Gyeonggi Startup Platform. Its own page splits the seats into three named tracks, one labelled Growth/Global. That track is different from the separate Global Startup programme on the same site.

Sixty seats, three tracks

The campus's own incubation page states eligibility as a prospective entrepreneur or a startup under seven years old. The company must also register its head office at the campus. Total capacity is 60 companies, split evenly: Preliminary/Initial, Private investment-linked, and Growth/Global, 20 seats each.

The published sequence is recruitment announcement, application, evaluation and selection, move-in, then incubation operation. Beyond office space, the page lists business consultation spanning startup through operations and crisis management. It also lists networking with other resident companies, mentors and investors.

Incubation track	Seats
Preliminary / Initial stage	20
Private investment-linked	20
Growth / Global	20
Total	60

A separate Global Startup programme, domestic-first

The same site runs a distinct Global Startup programme aimed at strengthening overseas-expansion competitiveness. Its 2026 round opened for applications February 26 to March 20, 2026, for 20 companies. Those companies came from fourth-industrial-revolution fields: IT, BT, CT, AI and autonomous vehicles.

Eligibility for that round required the applicant to be based in Pangyo Techno Valley. It could also be headquartered in Gyeonggi, with a research or overseas-focused division inside the valley. The page does not extend eligibility to a company without a Pangyo or Gyeonggi presence.

The 2026 round ran contracts through November 30, 2026, with applications submitted online through the Gyeonggi Business Secretariat. Neither programme page states a separate rule for foreign ownership. That is true once a company already has the required local base.

Pangyo Startup Campus's 60-seat incubation split into three tracks, alongside a separate Global Startup programme that requires an existing Pangyo or Gyeonggi base.

A foreign founder should treat "Global" here as a label for company stage and expansion ambition, confirmed against the current notice, not as a statement that the campus accepts applicants without a Korean base.
