Announcement for Commercialization Support of the 'Science and Technology In Cooperative'
[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] The Ministry of Science and ICT will recruit cooperatives to participate in the '2020 Science and Technology Professionals Cooperative Commercialization Support' starting from the 28th. This project was established to support the business activation of 'Science and Technology Professionals Cooperatives' founded by experts in the science and technology field.
Eligible cooperatives are those engaged in science and technology businesses with at least five science and engineering personnel or cooperatives where more than 50% of the total members are science and engineering personnel. A total of 17 cooperatives will be selected and supported.
Cooperatives centered on unemployed science and engineering university students or women with career interruptions will be given preference, and retired science and technology professionals will be supported separately through the high-experience type.
Selected cooperatives can receive support ranging from 20 million to 30 million KRW depending on the type. Last year, the project '3WAY Method Hybrid Wave Maker Design and Control Technology Development' by the Ship and Marine Systems Technology Cooperative was selected, leading to product launch and securing domestic sales channels as well as overseas export contracts.
Applications for the Science and Technology Professionals Cooperative Commercialization Support Project will be accepted until April 3. Application methods and support details can be found on the Ministry of Science and ICT website or the Science and Technology Professionals Cooperative Support Center.
