Bosanjin Hosts K-BIC Star Day, 'A Venue for Innovative Technology Presentations'

The Korea Health Industry Development Institute announced on the 27th that it will hold 'K-BIC STAR DAY,' a platform for presenting innovative technologies in the health industry sector, on the 30th.

The event, held on the 30th at Dreamplus Gangnam in Seocho-gu, Seoul, will feature a technology briefing session (IR) to promote investment attraction for startup companies, as well as networking programs such as one-on-one business partnering.

During the technology briefing session, there will be a focused spotlight on 10 technologies selected as ‘Game Changer: K-BIC STARs,’ providing an opportunity to explore the potential of technologies that will lead the future of the health industry. For investors including venture capitalists (VC), corporate venture capitalists (CVC), accelerators (AC), university technology holding companies, and large and mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, this will be a chance to discover technologies at early investment stages from seed investment to Series A. Additionally, clinical doctors from various fields will participate to offer professional opinions from a medical perspective, presenting new ideas and solutions for the K-BIC STARs technologies.

In a separate space arranged for one-on-one business partnering, investors and startup companies will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face to discuss investment attraction and strategic open innovation through technology transfer, joint research, and technology transactions.

At the K-BIC STAR DAY held on September 20, 10 innovative technologies were introduced first. A total of 217 participants from 145 companies took part, conducting 116 partnering sessions. Even after the event, follow-up meetings between investors and startup companies were arranged as an extension of the partnering sessions, providing an opportunity to meet investment demands.

An official from the institute stated, "The satisfaction level of participating companies in the September event was high," and added, "At the November event, startup companies were given more time to participate in partnering with a greater number of investors." They continued, "We hope that through 'K-BIC STAR DAY,' excellent startup companies will seize investment opportunities and grow,” and “We will continue to actively support networking to yield good results by actively reflecting the demands between startup companies and investors.”
