Hanjin partners with U.S. startup accelerator for new growth driver
SEOUL, Feb. 20 (Yonhap) -- Hanjin Group, South Korea's airline conglomerate, said Thursday it has partnered with a U.S. startup accelerator to explore new business opportunities.
In the partnership, Hanjin will work with Plug and Play Center, a Silicon Valley-based early-stage investor and startup accelerator, to generate a new growth driver in the "travel and hospitality" business sector in addition to its mainstay airline business, the company said in a statement.
Plug and Play provides a platform for global companies and startups to connect and collaborate for win-win synergies.
