In September, TIPA invited companies that had conducted R&D projects under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and selected 16 companies with strong technological capabilities and market potential to make final presentations.

The selected companies held in-person IR presentations for investment officers from the two banks. Whether to make an investment in companies that attract the officers’ interest will be decided after follow-up meetings.

Kim Young-shin, president of TIPA, said, “We will continue to work closely with the banks dedicated to SME R&D and strengthen an integrated support system that connects commercialization with investment attraction.”
