Conducted by South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), the programme offers startups the opportunity to fast-track their growth in one of the world's major IT hubs, a press release said here today.
One of only 30 tech startups invited to participate from around the world, Buyfie - founded by three brothers, Praveen S S Pranav S S and Prabin S S in the city - was chosen on the basis of its minimum viable product (MVP), the release said.
