During the meeting, discussions were held on ▲ Introducing Kibo's technology evaluation system at a World Bank-hosted webinar ▲ Conducting a technology evaluation system transfer project to Vietnam ▲ Producing a report on Kibo's overseas transfer know-how, and other ways to promote and transfer the excellence of Kibo's technology evaluation system abroad.

Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of Kibo, stated, "Kibo supports startup companies that have been marginalized due to the lack of financial quantification by utilizing the technology evaluation system. Through localization of the technology evaluation system, it has been expanded and disseminated not only to Vietnam, Thailand, and Peru but also to the EU (European Union)." He added, "We are well aware of the World Bank's efforts to eradicate poverty and support economic development in developing countries, and Kibo will spare no effort as a partner of the World Bank."
