[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 9th that it has established the Gwangju Buk Branch and held an opening ceremony to revitalize technology finance support for small and medium-sized venture companies in the northern region of Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Gwangju Metropolitan City serves as a hub city in the Honam economic zone, playing a pivotal role in South Korea's economy through the AI-based 'Digital New Deal,' the 'Green New Deal' for an eco-friendly energy self-sufficient city, and the 'Human New Deal,' a Gwangju-type job project.


Kibo has established the Gwangju Buk Branch in Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, aiming to resolve the inconveniences faced by local SMEs that had been using distant branches and to provide prompt financial support, thereby activating technology finance support.
