10 ideaTHON winners fly to South Korea
The 10 young innovators from the top 5 winning startups of ideaTHON have reached South Korea to take the six months of training for developing their businesses.
Aiming to increase the knowledge and skills of startups in Bangladesh, the government and South Korea had jointly organised the "ideaTHON" contest initiated by the iDEA project of the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) under the ICT Division to develop the country's startup ecosystem, said a press release.
Five start-ups had won the contest and became eligible to receive a six-month training in South Korea, and they will also get support on incubation, funding, international patent, copyright, and trademark.
