TIPA selected the final 10 companies to present after a prior screening for technical excellence and marketability among those that applied during a three-week period from August 3 to 24.

The selected companies conducted in-person IR (investment presentations) for investment managers from IBK Industrial Bank of Korea and Hana Bank. Companies that drew interest from the investment managers will undergo follow-up meetings before a final investment decision is made.

TIPA President Kim Youngshin said, "TIPA is expanding customized, linked support to ensure the excellent technologies held by regional SMEs can lead to successful commercialization and investment attraction. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen a one-stop support system that connects the post-R&D commercialization and investment phases, working in collaboration with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea and Hana Bank."
