[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] "We signed supply contracts for diagnostic kits in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America, resulting in a 10 billion KRW increase in sales compared to the previous year."

Jin System, which won the grand prize at the 2013 'Korea Invention Patent Exhibition' and enhanced the reputation of 'K-Quarantine' during the fight against COVID-19 by embedding test reagents into diagnostic devices to minimize the testing process and enable rapid testing, revealed part of its achievements.

On the 8th, Jin System took the stage as a representative company in the biohealth sector at the 'BIG3 Performance Sharing Meeting' hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and presented its achievements so far. Jin System also disclosed its next business plans, stating, "We are collaborating with Chungnam National University to design the next model."

At the 'BIG3 Performance Sharing Meeting,' where companies with outstanding achievements in the three major new industries (BIG3) gathered, three companies presented their results: Open Edge Technology in the system semiconductor sector, Jin System in the biohealth sector, and StradVision in the future car sector.

A total of nine companies participated in the performance sharing meeting: Open Edge Technology, FADU, and Mobilint in the system semiconductor sector; Jin System, Cystem, and VUNO in the biohealth sector; and StradVision, RideFlux, and Somuna in the future car sector. All participating companies received commendations from the Minister of SMEs and Startups, and the top three companies selected by votes from experts and a public participation group in November presented their achievements on site.

Notably, during the performance presentations, investors and mentors who supported the companies' growth joined on stage, providing more vivid stories.

At the meeting, a brand image embodying the importance of the future growth engine 'BIG3' and the commitment to support SMEs and startups was also unveiled.

The finalized brand image expresses 'BIG3' through a gradient of navy, purple, and blue colors. The alphabet 'I' divided into three parts represents the three new industry sectors, and the blue and purple colors symbolize 'future orientation.' The gradient expresses corporate change and growth.

The brand image will be produced as plaques that can be displayed at companies and distributed to all 250 selected companies. It will be actively utilized through online and offline media such as BIG3-related events, promotional materials, and YouTube broadcast videos.

Park Young-sun, Minister of SMEs and Startups, said, "On the 3rd, at the Innovation Growth Strategy Meeting, we announced plans to promote the development of the three major new industries. The government will boldly support the BIG3 sectors, which are future growth engines, through all ministries," adding, "We will activate all possible measures for SMEs and startups, including financial support, regulatory relaxation, ecosystem creation, and infrastructure establishment."
