Technology Transactions for SMEs Become Easier and More Accurate with AI Platform
Smart Tech Bridge Utilization Small and Medium Enterprise Technology Transaction Excellence Company Meeting
On the 14th, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced that it held an 'Outstanding Small Business Technology Trading Companies Meeting' at the Seoul branch of the Korea Technology Finance Corporation, chaired by Vice Minister Oh Ki-woong, with five representatives of small businesses utilizing the AI technology trading platform (Smart Tech Bridge) in attendance.
Smart Tech Bridge is a platform established in December 2022 to revitalize technology trading among small businesses. It provides public technology information (940,000 cases) from universities and public research institutes, as well as technology demand information collected through online and offline channels. The platform is equipped with various functions necessary for technology trading and commercialization, including AI-based patent, paper, and research institute search and matching, as well as electronic contract services.
Technology trading through Smart Tech Bridge amounted to 1,627 cases last year, accounting for 13.4% of all public technology transactions. Notably, small businesses accounted for more than 99% of these transactions.
The small businesses participating in the meeting presented various field difficulties and suggestions. Oh Sang-gyu, CEO of Rubentis, a smart logistics system company, requested the expansion of integrated support programs to enable small businesses that have introduced excellent external technologies to smoothly pursue overseas commercialization. To Be Unicorn, an AI-based education platform company, suggested the need to establish a foundation that allows other companies to acquire and commercialize technologies when companies that have conducted government R&D do not wish to commercialize them.
