Life design crowdfunding Wadiz(CEO Shin Hye-sung, www.wadiz.kr) announced on the 24th that it achieved an 18-fold increase in transaction volume compared to the same period last year, thanks to the success of high-priced products such as canoes and bicycles during its “Mobility Week.” Wadizhosts “Category Week (Better Week)” every month to offer concentrated benefits to makers and supporters in specific categories, and held “Car Week (Better Mobility Week)” from May 13 to 19. This event featured over 130 projects in the automotive and mobility sectors that demonstrated innovative ideas and product quality.
