3) Main lecture: Entrepreneurship in “Green Bio” and future agricultural business

Professor Kim Min-kyu (Chungnam National University) delivers an entrepreneurship lecture centered on Green Bio.

  • Agricultural materials and bio-based ingredients
  • Biodiesel/bioplastics and related products

Market outlook and opportunities

Climate change context

Future food innovation themes

Key directions include:

• Plant-based alternative foods
• Meal kits
• Fermented foods/probiotics

• Alternative protein (including cultured meat concepts)

It also notes challenges (e.g., taste and repurchase rates), suggesting innovation should focus on:

• Quality enhancement

Regulation and commercialization considerations

How to plan entrepreneurship

• Brand marketing examples are suggested (e.g., small but premium produce and differentiation strategies).

Using support systems and lowering entry barriers

• Encourages using government incubation and R&D funding rather than relying only on personal capital.
• Mentions rentable smart farm ideas to reduce entry barriers.

“Future prediction” mindset for entrepreneurship

• Discusses anticipating discontinuous change (e.g., COVID, climate disasters, AI acceleration).
• Entrepreneurship is framed as requiring continuous scanning/prediction—not simple “prophecy.”
