Wanju Community Business Center The WanJu Community Business (CB) center is an intermediary organization supporting various CB activities in Wanju-Gun. The Wanju CB center was set up as a local foundation funded by local banks and local people, and its management is carried out by the Wanju local government with the Hope Institute Staff. Since opening in September 2010, it has been actively incubating CB enterprises, building a network of local people related with CB and offering various education programs. In the near future, it hopes to provide a complete program which offers different levels of support to three stages of CB group: preliminary CB startup communities, CB startup communities, and agricultural social enterprises.
