Brand Identity

The former H-OnDream Social Enterprise Startup Audition evolved to the 2021 H-OnDream Startup Ground. For the past nine years, H-OnDream has become the gateway to success for social entrepreneurs, thus supporting the growth of the social sector. Now that the social sector has reached maturity, H-OnDream is ready to adapt together and play the role of discovering-fostering-investing platform to support next-generation leaders.


H-OnDream Startup Ground’s symbol carries the meaning and value of tackling social problems and pioneering an innovative future through the links between Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation, Hyundai Motor Group and the participating teams, while each pixel represents infinite possibilities and innovative change.


In addition, H-OnDream’s commitment to be at the forefront of solving social problems was visualized through 17 colors of SDGs making up ‘H’ and harmony with the Hyundai Blue color.

Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation

Founded in 2007, this year marks Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation’s 15th anniversary. With the mission to be a bridge of hope and dream for our society, the foundation is working tirelessly to light up the world by fostering next-generation leaders, sharing arts and culture, and taking care of the vulnerable.

“A world where everyone is happy.” 

I started my career at a social venture because I wanted to contribute something good to the society. Given this experience, I understand some of your difficulties and concerns. Addressing social problems is not an easy thing to do. However, somebody has to do it and I think it will eventually be overcome if you don’t give up. From now on I will be supporting H-OnDream Startup Ground for the good of the next generation and their growth.

“Your dream makes a better world for people who dream.”
