What is this event?

This is a startup competition / pitch contest.

Founders submit applications, go through screening, and the finalists get folded into a short accelerator-style program (an IR boot-camp) before pitching live for prize money and follow-on support.

Think of it as: competition → boot-camp → demo day, all rolled into one track.

Who organized it?

Jointly run by Jeonju City and the Smilegate Orange Planet Startup Foundation (재단법인 오렌지플래닛 창업재단). Orange Planet is a government-supervised foundation under Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and operates as Smilegate's startup-support arm. This is the 8th edition of the competition, with a strong track record: past selected teams show a 92% survival rate over six years, and several alumni have gone on to win national-level startup awards.
