  • Despite the global recession, exports of Korean online games are expected to exceed $1.5 billion in 2009, nearly double the $1 billion recorded from the previous year. "The industry was little affected by the global economic downturn," an official at the Korean Association of Game Industry said.
  • "The sharp rise in overseas sales drove the growth of earnings and shares of Korean game companies such as NCSoft and NeoWiz last year. This trend will continue this year," said Kim Chang-kwean, an analyst at Daewoo Securities.
  • The local online game market is also expected to post solid growth this year, with a slew of planned rollouts of new games. The Korean online game market has been growing more than 20 percent annually in recent years. In 2008, the local online game industry generated revenue of 2.6 trillion won, of which $1 billion came from overseas.

MaRS Entrepreneurship 101 Series: Week 1 - Techvibes - 0 views

  • MaRS Centre in Toronto runs a free entrepreneurship program from Sept to April called "Entrepreneurship 101" designed to teach those in the local scientific community the ins and outs of getting started with a business. Over the course of the program they cover topics ranging from how to write a business plan to protecting your intellectual property and get various prominent speakers to share their experiences as well. Classes are held 5:30pm to 6:30pm on Wednesdays, at the MaRS Centre (located in downtown Toronto). If you are in town, this is a great opportunity to learn. It is also completely free to attend - all you gotta do is sign up and show up and by the end of it, you'd be fairly well acquainted with the tools and knowledge you need to start your own hi-tech business, which is what the government and the folks behind MaRS Center want at the end of the day. MaRS is also making available full recordings of each of its classes online, which Techvibes would be posting on a weekly basis so you can still learn from the program if distance is an issue.
