[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 1st that it will newly establish the 'Basic Course in Biochemical' training to cultivate research personnel and on-site production personnel in the white bio field (energy·chemistry) and recruit participants.


SBC newly established this course in preparation for the growth of the bioplastic industry, which will replace existing petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics using biomass such as plants and microorganisms are emerging as an eco-friendly alternative because they emit less carbon dioxide during production and can decompose in a relatively short time.


This training will focus on the entire life cycle core processes, technologies, and case studies of biomass, covering ▲ domestic and international trends and policies of the white bio industry ▲ pretreatment technology ▲ saccharification technology ▲ fermentation technology ▲ separation and purification technology.


Lecturers include experts in each field such as Professor Park Kyung-moon of Hongik University, Professor Kim Tae-hyun of Hanyang University, Dr. Ahn Jung-oh of the Biotechnology Research Institute, and Dr. Yoon Jung-joon of the Production Technology Research Institute. The training will be held for 2 nights and 3 days from the 3rd to the 5th of this month at the Chungcheong Training Center. Any employee of bio small and medium venture companies and researchers and developers in related fields can apply. The training fee is free.



Park Chang-gi, head of the SBC Chungcheong Training Center, said, "SBC plans to gradually expand the operation into specialized courses for each detailed process by surveying the demand of associations and participating companies related to the white bio field in the future."
