The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) Hongneung Special Zone Business Group (hereinafter referred to as Hongneung Special Zone) announced on the 12th that it held the '1st CEO Seminar and Networking' at Seoul Startup Branch on June 9th as part of the Post-TIPS project.
This event was designed to share growth strategies and practical scale-up plans for technology-based companies with startups selected by PostTips. The main program included presentations of real-life cases in the fields of technology-specific IPOs and M&A, along with networking among industry experts.
In the presentation session, CEO Hyun-Jun Kim of Byte Co., Ltd. (former co-founder of Viewno Co., Ltd.) introduced a case of IPO promotion using technology-specific listing, and Chairman Geum-Ryong Lee of the Challenge and Sharing Association shared his past experience with auction M&A, providing practical insights that can be referenced in establishing corporate growth strategies.
Hongneung Special Zone supports subsequent growth after initial R&D success through the PostTips project, and focuses on attracting investment, global expansion, and strengthening commercialization capabilities. In 2023, Mobilint, a PostTips participating company, and Jibrain successfully attracted 2 billion won in investment, achieving visible results.
In addition, we are accelerating the expansion of our global network by establishing a foundation for connections with overseas investors through collaboration with Japanese venture capital firms SBI Investment and Global Brain.
Lim Hwan, head of the Hongneung Special Zone Business Group, said, “This event was an opportunity to provide practical help to technology startups with growth potential in preparing for strategic turning points such as IPOs and M&As,” and added, “We will continue to actively utilize the Hongneung Special Zone’s network and support infrastructure to contribute to the qualitative growth of the startup ecosystem.”
