The American technology company Google recently set up its first campus in Asia. The campus opened last Friday in Seoul, South Korea. Google officials want the training center to support entrepreneurs who are starting up new Internet businesses. They hope this will lead to more Korean high technology programs in the world market. In return, the company wants more ties to the Korean market.
"Campus Seoul, A Google Space" is small compared to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. The company controls a large number of buildings and green spaces in what is known as Silicon Valley.
Google's new campus can be found in an office building in Seoul's Gangnam neighborhood. It will have 2,000 square meters of open office space where Korean Internet entrepreneurs can work.
Google's expectations for the campus, however, are much bigger than the relatively small space. The company wants to make it a place for new ideas in Asia.
Mary Grove is director of Google for Entrepreneurs. She says that at Campus Seoul, Internet program developers will get support, mentoring, possible contacts, and help finding investors. She says the company is providing this supportive environment without cost. She thinks this will also help Google gain entry to the Korean market.
"Google benefits when start-ups succeed as well. We understand the more start-ups that are created, companies do come on line, use the Internet, use Google, use Google products. It benefits us as well."
South Korea is one of the few countries in the world where Google is not the top Internet search engine. The Korean company Naver has a larger market share.
Google operates similar centers in London and Tel Aviv, but this is the company's first campus in East Asia.
Google says its London campus has helped startup companies created 18,000 new jobs and get over $110 million dollars in investments.
One of the Campus Seoul members is April Kim. She started an Internet-based translation service called Chatting Cat. She says she likes the workspace and conference areas.
She adds that people at the campus can share information and concerns with others there, and they can provide motivation for each other.
Google decided on Seoul because it has some of the fastest Internet speeds, and many talented, well-educated engineers. The city also has one of the highest percentages of smart phone users in the world.
Jung-min Lim is the director of Campus Seoul. He says the South Korean government has also made it easier to launch new businesses.
He says a few years ago the government cancelled many rules for new businesses and provided policies supporting start-ups.
South Korean President Park Geun-Hye attended the opening of Campus Seoul. In 2013, her administration provided $3 billion to assist new high-tech companies grow and compete around the world.

参考译文
美国科技公司谷歌最近在亚洲成立了首个校园，这个学校是上周五在韩国首尔成立的。谷歌官方希望这个培训中心能帮助那些开创新互联网企业的创业者，希望世界市场中出现更多的韩国高技术项目。作为回报，该公司希望能与韩国市场建立更多关联。
与加州山景城的谷歌总部相比，“谷歌首尔校园”很小，该公司在所谓的硅谷控制着大片建筑和绿地。
谷歌新校园位于首尔江南区的一座办公楼内，将有2000平米的开放办公区，供韩国互联网创业者使用。
然而，与这里相对较小的面积相比，谷歌对这个校园的期望却很高。该公司希望让这里成为亚洲新想法的诞生地。
玛丽·格罗夫是谷歌企业家项目主管，她说在首尔校园里，互联网项目开发者能得到支持、指导、可能的接触，以及帮助寻找投资者。她说该公司免费提供这种支持环境，她认为这将帮助谷歌进入韩国市场。
“创业公司成功的话，谷歌也会从中受益。我们明白，创立更多的创业公司，那么使用互联网、使用谷歌和谷歌产品的公司就越多，我们就会受益。”
谷歌在世界上少数几个国家不是最大的互联网搜索引擎，韩国就其中之一。韩国公司Naver占据的市场份额更多。
谷歌在伦敦和特拉维夫也有类似的中心，但这是该公司在东亚的首个校园。
谷歌称其伦敦校园帮助创业公司制造了1.8万个新岗位，并获得了超过1.1亿美元的投资。
艾普利·金是谷歌校园学员，她成立了基于互联网的翻译服务Chatting Cat，她说她喜欢这里的工作场所和会议室。
她说校园里的创业者能相互共享信息和兴趣点，还能彼此提供激励。
谷歌选择首尔是因为这里的互联网速度最快，并且有很多有菜花、教育程度高的工程师，该市的智能手机用户比例在全世界最高。
Jung-min Lim是首尔校园负责人，他说韩国政府在创办新企业方面提供了便利。
他说几年前政府取消了对新企业的很多规定，并提供了支持创新企业的政策。
韩国总统朴槿惠参加了首尔校园的启动仪式，2013年，她的政府提供30亿美元用于帮助高新技术公司发展并在全世界进行竞争。
