The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Korea Technology Finance Corporation, Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter referred to as “KIBO”) announced that it held the “Technology Transaction Supporters Outstanding Activity Reward Ceremony” at Forum the Most in Jung-gu, Seoul on Monday the 8th and awarded rewards to technology transaction supporters (hereinafter referred to as “supporters”) who contributed to discovering companies in need of technology transfer.
This event was designed to encourage supporters with outstanding track records in identifying demand companies and to share the achievements of the 2025 Supporters Project. The significance of the Supporters' activities was further highlighted by the fact that, despite challenging circumstances such as low awareness and cost burdens for SMEs regarding technology transfer, they were able to successfully identify 10 demand companies.
Supporters are employees from external organizations that have signed agreements with Kibo. They guide small and medium-sized enterprises they encounter in the course of their work about technology transfer programs and identify and recommend companies seeking to adopt external technologies to Kibo. Kibo systematically supports technology adoption and commercialization by connecting recommended companies with technology transaction brokerage and financial support.
At the meeting following the awards ceremony, supporters shared their experiences and challenges they encountered during their activities, and various suggestions for system improvement were discussed. The opinions presented that day will be reflected in future program restructuring and operations.
Kibo CEO Lee Sang-chang said, “Supporters play a crucial bridging role in informing small and medium-sized enterprises that the introduction of external technologies can be an opportunity for a new leap forward,” and added, “Kibo will continue to actively support the activities of supporters and strengthen cooperation with relevant organizations to do its best to vitalize the technology transaction ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, as part of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' "Small and Medium Enterprise Technology Transaction Activation Support Project," Kibo has been officially operating a supporter system since February, and is supporting field-oriented activities such as discovering companies in need of technology and providing guidance on technology transfer systems through business agreements with external organizations that have a lot of contact with small and medium enterprises.
