[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] The Korea Pharmaceutical and Bio-Pharma Manufacturers Association announced on the 16th that it presented a plaque of appreciation to Cho Wook-je, President of Yuhan Corporation, for his contributions to enhancing open innovation collaboration in the industry.

The association introduced a member company secondment system in 2020 with the aim of opening and innovating the association’s organization and operations, and the first secondment was carried out at Ildong Pharmaceutical’s Overseas Business Department.

Subsequently, on February 15 of last year, Yuhan Corporation seconded Kim Han-gon, Head of the Global BD Team, to the association’s Global Team, enabling him to participate in the association’s Global Open Innovation (GOI) projects throughout the year.

Despite the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, Team Leader Kim actively supported domestic pharmaceutical and bio companies’ entry into the global market. He contributed to accelerating domestic companies’ global market expansion by promoting entry into the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) in Boston, USA, joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Industry Liaison Program (ILP), and establishing a partnership agreement for the Basel launch in Switzerland.

An association official expressed gratitude to Yuhan Corporation, stating, “Through the secondment of talented personnel from member companies, the association and the industry field have organically cooperated and communicated.”
