Satyabrata Aich, a 39-year-old man from India who founded Wellmatix, a South Gyeongsang-based start-up that specializes in artificial intelligence and the metaverse, said he plans to apply for the D.Day program by D.Camp, saying, "The opportunities are very limited for foreigners because often investors think foreigners might one day go back to their own country."

"Our goal this year is to reach out to a larger pool of entrepreneurs," said Jang Shin-hi, head of the communications team at D.Camp. "After having meet-up programs with foreign entrepreneurs this year, we plan to design more detailed programs to support them in the coming year."
