Underdogs demonstrated the strength of Korean entrepreneurship education to the world by participating in 'SusiTech Tokyo 2024,' Asia's largest startup festival. 'SusiTech Tokyo 2024' is an event hosted by Tokyo Metropolitan Government and was held for two days from May 15 to 16 at Big Sight exhibition hall in Tokyo, Japan. At this event, Underdogs met with various global partners who have demand for entrepreneurship education. They introduced Korean entrepreneurship education to university officials, government agencies, corporate social contribution managers, and startups, while emphasizing its effectiveness and exchanging opinions on Japan's startup ecosystem. Since its founding in 2015, Underdogs has nurtured over 17,000 entrepreneurs. Having accumulated sufficient experience and know-how in entrepreneurship education within Korea, Underdogs was able to confidently answer 'yes' to the question 'Can you make money through entrepreneurship education?' Starting from 2018, Underdogs expanded the scope of social impact through entrepreneurship education globally and began developing startup coaches and entrepreneurs with partners in 19 countries worldwide. Underdogs is creating next-generation entrepreneurship education by taking a step further from immersive practical entrepreneurship education accompanied by entrepreneurial coaches. Underdogs' goal is to provide all-in-one educational services including systematically operating and supporting hundreds of educational programs, 'underbase,' a data platform that can integrate and manage entrepreneur growth data in one place, and 'AI Coach' being jointly developed through MOUs with 'wrtn' and other services. Underdogs CEO Kim Jung-heon stated, 'In line with the growing need for entrepreneurship education in Japan, Underdogs will do its best to supply excellent educational services with educational content that has been sufficiently verified domestically and know-how accumulated over years of educational operations.'
