Also as situations that existing systems cannot regulate and clashes against existing systems happen, legal systems are becoming to exist in name only. Therefore it is necessary to establish policies to systematically foster and support start-ups, those that are newly rising through recent concept definition and typing about ICT fusion logistic start-ups. The start-ups, as a new growth power, should be assisted to work free within the system and derive creation of employment and reinvesting chances. This study, basing on domestic and foreign logistics start-up case studies, was conducted to draw vitalizing and supporting policies about venture businesses, especially ICT fusion logistics venture businesses to create a new domestic growth power. The research definitions the concept of ICT fusion logistics start-up and deducts apolitical implications by analysing ICT fusion logistics venture start-up cases and features of each forms. In addition, implies logistics industrial, technological support plans to support future new growth motorization of ICT fusion logistics start-up.
