On May 31-June 2, SUNY Korea hosted 'Startup Weekend Incheon' for the third year in a row.  Over 40 students from prof Rosa Jeong's course at the Fashion Institute of Technology participated in the competition, under the theme of 'Sustainable Fashion Innovation.'

The SUNY Korea Business Management department partnered with FIT Korea's Business Management department to offer the event.  Local sponsors Pakyoungsa and Muyokpub covered meals for the event, for the second year in a row.  This time, the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism also got on board; its cultural intelligence agency KCISA sponsored a slew of prizes.  Finally, SUNY Korea and FIT Korea pitched in to offer gift cards for the winning teams.

Alberto Perera, a Spanish architect and founder of the Songdo chapter of Green Drinks network, helped to open the event as the keynote speaker, offering some insight about design and sustainability from an architectural perspective.
