The integrated support project is a focused support program that consolidates various technology transfer and commercialization support systems into a single program, providing tailored services closely throughout all stages from technology adoption to commercialization for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The eligible companies are SMEs that are technology transfer companies or companies scheduled for technology transfer with technology fees of 50 million KRW (excluding VAT) or more through Kibo's open technology transaction platform, 'Smart Techbridge.' Kibo plans to select a total of 14 companies by conducting a first-round document evaluation, a second-round on-site evaluation, and a final review.

SMEs selected for the integrated support project will receive various benefits, including ▲consulting for commercialization of transferred technology ▲expenses related to commercialization of transferred technology ▲secondary compensation for Kibo's IP acquisition guarantees. Especially from this year, consulting support will be provided through matching with specialized institutions that have abundant expertise, capabilities, and field experience in technology commercialization. The support amount has been significantly increased (100 million KRW for general companies, 200 million KRW for core companies), and interest support of 2.5% on IP acquisition guarantee loans per company is offered, allowing support of up to 230 million KRW.

SMEs wishing to participate in the integrated support project can apply online through the Smart Techbridge website from the 10th to the 27th of next month. To provide detailed explanations about the integrated support project and other support projects for revitalizing technology transactions for SMEs, Kibo will hold a business briefing session at 1:30 PM on the 13th of next month on the 8th floor of Space Moa at Seoul Station.

Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of Kibo, stated, "Since 2022, Kibo has led open technology innovation for excellent SMEs through tailored support from technology transfer to commercialization via the integrated support project. We will continue to do our best to increase the commercialization success rate of technology transfer companies by resolving gaps arising in the commercialization process of externally introduced technologies and providing prompt financial support."
