Daejeon City selects 13 companies for '2025 Global IP Star Companies'

Daejeon City and Daejeon Intellectual Property Center (Daejeon Branch of Korea Invention Promotion Association) co-hosted the '2025 Global IP Star Company Designation Ceremony' at Daedeok Tech Biz Center on the 29th and newly selected 13 promising local small and medium-sized companies.

The 'Global IP Star Company Development Project' is a project that provides customized overseas expansion support based on intellectual property (IP) within the limit of 70 million won per year for up to 3 years to small and medium-sized enterprises with export performance or plans to export.

Daejeon City evaluated the intellectual property capabilities and global growth potential of companies through the first spectrum diagnosis and corporate due diligence and the second presentation review this year, and finally selected 13 companies.

Selected companies will be provided with various programs, including ▲customized intellectual property consulting ▲overseas rights acquisition support ▲patent and design map creation ▲brand and design development ▲production of patent technology promotional videos.

In addition, we plan to support up to three years of continuous support through annual evaluations and systematically support the creation of intellectual property, securing rights, and strategic use to strengthen global market competitiveness.

The 52 companies that received support through the same project last year have proven the effectiveness of the project by recording a 23.5% increase in employment and a 24.8% increase in the number of intellectual property holdings compared to before the support.

Daejeon City Business Support Bureau Director Choi Won-hyeok said, “In order to achieve sustainable growth in the competitive global market, securing intellectual property rights to protect technology is essential,” adding, “We will continue to expand customized support so that local small and medium-sized enterprises can expand into the world based on intellectual property.”
