Abstract
Introduction: A basic guide to the new territories of Startupland
Day 2. Pyongyang Startup Week, May 2016.
They are setting up for the days’ workshop and the founder of Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST), President Kim Chin Kyung (or James Kim as he is known in the US), bursts unplanned into the classroom shouting ‘Every day is a good day because of the students.’ He asks, ‘Where are the graduate students?’
Pres. Kim – serial entrepreneur, economics professor, Korean war veteran, US and Chinese citizen, educationalist, evangelical Christian and former DPRK prisoner – expected there to be more than the twenty-five male undergrads. There had been a cock-up. JP explains what happened and Kim cheerfully announces that he’ll have to ‘fire the DPRK Dean: I need to fire more people! Ha hah, ha!’
Everyone laughs.
JP looks at his colleagues: Is Kim serious? Best to assume not.
