[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 30th that it held the 'KOSME IR Mart' targeting promising regional preliminary unicorn companies located outside the metropolitan area.


This investment briefing session was held to support investment attraction for regional preliminary unicorn candidate companies and growth-sharing fund-supported companies selected by SBC. On this day, 21 related organizations, including private investors related to local funds interested in companies located outside the metropolitan area, financial institutions, and the Korea Exchange, participated.


The six companies that conducted the investment briefing were promising companies located in Jeonbuk, Chungcheong, and Gyeongnam regions, including The Mamma, ALT, In The Keg, Samjeong Turbine, Hannae Forty, and Allso Tech. SBC plays a role as a catalyst for investment attraction for companies located outside the metropolitan area, and the support ratio for combined investment and financing for non-metropolitan companies over the past three years has reached 62.1%. Additionally, this year, SBC selects 100 regional preliminary unicorn candidate companies annually and provides comprehensive support for their growth through 'relay-style' linked support such as policy fund loans and investments, corporate diagnosis, and export marketing.



Chairman Kim Hak-do said, "The follow-up investment attraction amount for companies supported by SBC's growth-sharing funds reached 818.5 billion KRW until last year, and despite the contraction of the investment market in the first half of this year, 22 companies attracted follow-up investments worth 67.4 billion KRW," adding, "SBC will continue to expand support for investment attraction for promising companies in investment-excluded areas such as companies located outside the metropolitan area, traditional manufacturing companies, and startups."
