Recruitment of Companies Participating in Daejeon 'Drone Industry Ecosystem Development Project'

Daejeon City announced on the 22nd that it will recruit companies to participate in this year’s ‘Drone Industry Ecosystem Development Project’ until the 7th of next month.

The project aims to revitalize the drone industry by supporting technology development and commercialization of local drone companies. It intends to advance drone product technologies in the private, public, and service drone sectors, foster the local drone industry through demonstration support, and discover new business models.

This year, the city plans to select about 10 local drone-related companies through this project and provide up to 50 million KRW per company for technology development, performance improvement, and demonstration costs.

Additionally, participation in domestic and international exhibitions and operational support will promote the excellence of drone technologies and products, strengthening the capabilities of local companies and expanding their market channels.

Eligibility is granted to drone-related manufacturing and development companies located in Daejeon, and applications can be submitted online through the Daejeon Enterprise Information Portal.

After receiving applications, the city will select the final supported companies through an evaluation committee composed of experts who will comprehensively assess the appropriateness of the project content, level of technology development, and product development capabilities.

For more detailed information about the project, please refer to the project announcement posted on the Daejeon Technopark website or contact the Daejeon Technopark Intelligent Robot Center for guidance.

Han Seon-hee, Director of the Strategic Business Promotion Office of the city, said, “Since 2019, Daejeon has supported technology development and commercialization through demonstrations to strengthen the competitiveness of the drone industry. We will continue to do our best to make Daejeon a leader in advanced domestic drone technology.”
