[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Kibo) announced that Chairman Kim Jong-ho visited Three H (CEO Jung Young-jae), located in Daegu Metropolitan City, on the afternoon of the 16th to understand the current status of the biohealth industry and listen to the difficulties faced by local companies.

Three H is a specialized company that directly develops and manufactures medical devices such as the ‘Acupoint Pressure Thermal Bed’ and ‘Laser Irradiator.’ It continues to create jobs, including the completion of its second factory in the Medical R&D District of the Innovation City in Dong-gu, Daegu.

Chairman Kim toured the production site with CEO Jung Young-jae and said, "Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturing companies have recently faced many difficulties due to liquidity crises. The reason Three H was able to grow to the next level is the result of the company’s technological innovation, and I hope it will grow into a world-class company beyond domestic companies."

Kibo secures various support measures such as financing, certification, and technology transactions from the startup stage to the growth stage, and has established support systems for job-creating companies. Last year, it provided 1.1 trillion won in support and plans to continuously expand the amount of job support funds.

Chairman Kim has been continuing on-site visits since December last year, starting with carbon-neutral companies, social venture companies, companies supported for re-challenge, and the medical device industry. In the future, he plans to actively communicate with companies through on-site visits to industries such as cultural content, root industries, and secondary battery-related industries.
