[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] On the 8th, the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT) announced that it signed a 'Technical Consulting Support Agreement for Technology-based Innovative Companies' with Gachon University at Gachon University Global Campus in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do.


This agreement was established to enhance the technological competitiveness and support the growth of technology-based innovative companies through industry-academic cooperation with regional engineering consulting centers designated by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.


According to the agreement, KODIT will select consulting support targets and cover 80-100% of the technical consulting costs (up to 10 million KRW). Additionally, after consulting, it will provide linked support for commercialization funds such as guarantees and investments. Gachon University Engineering Consulting Center will provide one-on-one technical consulting by matching professors in the relevant fields with SMEs.


The support targets are companies guaranteed or invested in by KODIT that have technical difficulties or technology development needs.


Since starting the agreement with Seoul National University in 2015, KODIT has signed agreements with Kumoh National Institute of Technology and Changwon National University in 2019, and with Jeonbuk National University and Hanbat National University in 2020 to support technical consulting.



Yoon Daehee, Chairman of KODIT, said, "This agreement has established a nationwide consulting support system to solve technical difficulties of SMEs with low accessibility to professional technical coaching," and added, "KODIT will continue to expand financial and non-financial support to promote the sustainable innovative growth of technology-based innovative companies."
