[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] On the 13th, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund signed a business agreement with four organizations: the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Korea Telecommunications Operators Association, Seoul Guarantee Insurance, and Born2Global Center to foster 'Global ICT Future Unicorns.'


This agreement was established to select outstanding ICT companies with technological capabilities and global expansion potential and to build an integrated support system that provides comprehensive support such as guarantees and overseas expansion to help them grow into global unicorn companies.


To foster global ICT future unicorns, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund will form a dedicated team to participate from the selection process of supported companies and discover promising ICT companies. Additionally, for selected companies, it will provide guarantee support up to 10 billion KRW, apply preferential guarantee rates (100%) and a fixed guarantee fee rate (0.5%), helping companies secure smooth financing and reduce financial burdens.
