On July 13, 2015, the Konkuk University (KU) Graduate School of Information & Telecommunications announced the establishment of the Fintecher School, an institution aimed at fostering talent in the fintech (financial technology) software area, in concert with the Korean Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning and the "Korea Fintech Forum." Recently, the first group of trainees consisting of university students and citizens has completed the one-day introductory educational program offered by the school.
The Fintecher School plans to continue to offer this program, devised to vitalize the fintech ecology, to around 50 participants each time while sharing technical know-how through sustained technology community activities.
