Gyeonggi Content Agency (GCA) is accepting applications for 20 startups specializing in AI-integrated content within the southern Gyeonggi region for its 'Southern Region Early-Stage Scale-up Package' program until April 1st.

Each of the 20 selected firms will receive a grant of 20 million won. The funds can be used not only for payroll but also for commercial AI subscription fees and server rentals. The program also connects with the GCA Southern Hub's 'Investment Value-up Package,' which supports the redesign of IR storytelling and content production.

Eligibility is limited to AI-integrated content startups founded within the last five years that have their headquarters in the southern Gyeonggi region (Seongnam, Suwon, Yongin, Gwacheon, Gunpo, Anyang, Uiwang, or Anseong) as of the announcement date. Companies based in other regions may also apply if they can relocate their headquarters to the region within two weeks of signing the agreement.

A GCA representative stated, "To overcome growth plateaus, it is paramount for early-stage startups to secure a competitive edge in AI technology," adding, "Through this initiative, we will serve as a solid pillar of support to help Gyeonggi’s talented content startups grow into leading companies that drive the AX trend."

Interested companies can check the business announcement on the official Gyeonggi Content Agency website and submit their application and required documents via email (southhub@gcon.or.kr) by 11:00 AM on April 1st.
