창조경제혁신센터
Centers for Creative Economy & Innovation (CCEI)
The 창조경제혁신센터 (CCEIs) are Korea's regional startup support centres — 19 of them, one per metropolitan city or province, each running its own calls, its own incubation space and its own regional programmes. They sit in KISED's 시설·공간·보육 line nationally, but a CCEI call is a regional programme with a regional budget: 부산 창조경제혁신센터 and 전북 창조경제혁신센터 announce separately and select separately.
