This workshop was organized under the theme of ‘The Third Venture Boom, Kibo Begins’ to examine the current status of Kibo and seek future strategies ahead of the new government’s announcement of national tasks. The workshop will feature presentations and discussions on the following topics: ▲New government policy direction and response strategies ▲Current status of M&A projects and support strategies for corporate succession-type M&A ▲K-Taxonomy self-diagnosis system for supporting carbon neutrality of small and medium-sized enterprises ▲Special guarantee rapid support measures for companies damaged by heavy rain.
In the afternoon, there will be a special lecture on the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, a key support area of the new government, and discussions on the latest technology trends in the AI field and the direction of support for the startup ecosystem will also take place.
Kim Jong-ho, chairman of Kibo, said, “Now is the time to examine the present and plan for the future in an uncertain economic environment,” and emphasized, “In order for Kibo to lead the market, it is important to respond flexibly to environmental changes.” He continued, “Through a virtuous cycle structure where small and medium-sized enterprises and Kibo grow and develop together, Kibo must fulfill its responsibility to meet the expectations of the new government, which is striving to enhance economic vitality, and customers who are hoping for practical assistance.”
Kibo has reaffirmed its status as a key support organization for SMEs and venture companies by providing guarantees worth 30.2 trillion won, which is 900 billion won more than originally planned, during the first half of this year. In particular, in order to strengthen support for future strategic industries such as AI, semiconductors, and carbon neutrality, it launched the AI·AX preferential guarantee in May, and reorganized the headquarters organization, ‘Data Business Strategy Office’, into ‘AI Data Strategy Office’ to fully promote the artificial intelligence transition (AX).
In the second half of the year, a 'Green Technology Finance Center' dedicated to carbon valuation and K-taxonomy valuation, a Korean-style green technology classification system, will be newly established. Kibo began developing a carbon valuation model in 2021, introduced a carbon valuation guarantee in 2022, developed a taxonomy suitability assessment model in 2023, and implemented a taxonomy valuation guarantee in 2025, thereby expanding the carbon neutrality support base. Kibo plans to further strengthen the spread of carbon neutrality and green finance support through the establishment of this center.
