Sports Corporation recruits fund managers for 2025 sports accounts



The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the Sports Foundation) announced on the 24th that it will recruit the '2025 Sports Account Fund Management Company' to promote investment in sports companies that are having difficulty attracting investment due to the prolonged economic downturn.

Starting with the government-led sports fund formed to revitalize investment by sports small and medium-sized and venture companies since 2015, the Korea Sports Corporation has been operating a start-up fund for start-ups (2022~) and a project fund specializing in sports services (2024~). Meanwhile, it plans to actively help sports companies by forming specialized funds for each field, such as sports strategy funds (export-oriented) that are scheduled to be managed for the first time this year.

The Korea Sports Corporation and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will actively support the sports industry investment environment by securing the same sports fund budget (300 won) last year even when the domestic venture investment market is struggling due to the economic downturn, including a 4.1% decrease in fund formation compared to the previous year.




Companies wishing to manage sports funds can apply at the Korea Venture Investment website from the 24th to April 29. Details can be found at the website or the Sports Corporation, or the department in charge of Korea Venture Investment Sports Account.
