Since the launch of the C-Lab spin-off program, Samsung successfully produced 45 startups with 163 participating employees. The values of the startups more than tripled since their spin-off, raising over 55 billion won ($45 million) in funding in a few years.

Under the C-Lab spin-off policy, the tech company also facilitates the launch of budding startups.

Samsung’s Creativity & Innovation Center vice president and head at Samsung, Hahn In-kuk, said that the results demonstrate the company’s commitment to promoting South Korea’s startup ecosystem. He added that they would continue to encourage the entrepreneurial spirit and creative innovation of Samsung’s employees, unlocking their potential.
