The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is recruiting recommended companies for preferential policy financing in 14 industrial sectors, including semiconductors, displays, batteries, future cars, nuclear power, hydrogen, aerospace, carbon, shipbuilding, steel, textiles, optics, machinery, and electricity. Recommended companies can receive preferential financial support such as additional interest rate reductions after expedited loan screening by the Korea Development Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, and Korea Credit Guarantee Fund.


The preferential policy financing support is a follow-up measure to the 2024 policy financing fund supply direction announced by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Financial Services Commission, and policy financial institutions at the Policy Finance Support Council. This year, nuclear power and textile industries have been newly added, and recommended companies are being recruited in 14 industrial sectors.


The selection criteria for recommended companies have been prepared reflecting the characteristics of each industry, targeting companies with outstanding innovation and growth potential. Detailed information can be found in the announcement section on the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy website.



Applicant companies must submit the application form and supporting documents proving eligibility for the recommendation criteria to the relevant industry agency by the 27th. The list of recommended companies meeting the criteria will be forwarded to policy financial institutions, which will conduct screening and provide preferential support. Last year's recommended companies (123 companies) can receive preferential support through screening by policy financial institutions this year without a separate application.
