[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] The National Mokpo University 3rd Phase Industry-Academia-Research Cooperation Leading University Development Project Group (hereinafter referred to as the LINC 3.0 Project Group) announced on the 5th that it conducted the ‘2022 LINC 3.0 Industry-Academia Joint Technology Development Project Selection Evaluation’ on the 26th and 27th of last month.

The Mokpo University LINC 3.0 Project Group conducted a demand survey for the ‘2022 LINC 3.0 Industry-Academia Joint Technology Development Project’ starting from mid-May to ensure successful project implementation.

Based on the prior demand survey, meaningful projects were selected to establish a foundation for regional growth and to promote the revitalization of local industries. Using this as a basis, project proposals were received and evaluated on the 26th and 27th of last month, after which the projects were finally selected.

The ‘2022 LINC 3.0 Industry-Academia Joint Technology Development Project’ selection evaluation was divided into designated type (local government + industry-linked) and open competition type (ICC-linked), aiming to create synergy for mutual growth of regional industries by achieving joint technology development results between companies and schools.

The Industry-Academia Joint Technology Development Project supports the development of original technologies held by universities so that companies can successfully commercialize them. The Mokpo University LINC 3.0 Project Group discovers small and medium-sized enterprises with potential and innovative capabilities in ICC-specialized fields (offshore wind power, eco-friendly smart transportation machinery, fine ceramics), selects new R&BD (Research & Business Development) projects that require research and development support and technology development, and provides support up to 50 million KRW.

Through this selection evaluation, a total of four companies, including ‘RainEye’, were selected under the open competition type and will receive support up to 30 million KRW. Under the designated type, a total of eight companies, including SC Co., Ltd., will receive support up to 50 million KRW to carry out new R&BD projects.

In addition, the Mokpo University LINC 3.0 Project Group plans to assist successful technology development through linked support for industry-academia joint technology development projects, ranging from commercialization diagnosis such as ReForm-Tech and the Technology Support Doctor System to supplementing development technologies, and to establish a virtuous cycle throughout the entire process by expanding achievements such as technology commercialization and strengthening competitiveness.
