Start a business in Korea — OASIS-1: Basic Education on Intellectual Property Literacy (Cohort 7)
97
Wednesday, Sep 9, 2026 – Thursday, Sep 10, 2026 · All day Classes & Workshops
Free, in English, and run by the Korean government's Global Start-up Immigration Center — the body behind the D-8-4 technology start-up visa and the D-10-2 start-up preparation visa.
WHAT IT COVERS
Eight lessons for people planning a business in Korea: the basics of acquiring intellectual property rights, plus the OASIS system, immigration law and how the Korean IP system fits together. In the organiser's words, it teaches "the basic skills necessary for starting a business and staying in Korea" and prepares you for the technology start-up and start-up visa stages.
WHO IT IS FOR
Prospective foreign entrepreneurs. No prior OASIS course needed — this is the entry point.
DATES
This is the same course as the 19–20 August cohort, on later dates — take whichever suits you.
WHERE
The pin shows the Global Start-up Immigration Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul — the organiser's own address (서울 마포구 큰우물로 76 고려빌딩 3·6층). Whether your cohort meets there or online is not published, so confirm the venue before travelling. Completing a course does not grant a visa — immigration decides that.
