"Active Communication to Promote Excellent SME R&D Achievements"

Field Visit and Communication Meeting at HVM, a Leading Advanced Metal Specialist Company

The Korea Institute for Advancement of Small and Medium Technology (KISA) announced on the 7th that Director Kim Young-shin has embarked on field visits to communicate with companies that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame among successful small and medium enterprise (SME) research and development (R&D) support projects.

KISA’s ‘Hall of Fame for SMEs’ is a system that exhibits the achievements of companies listed on KOSPI and KOSDAQ that have benefited from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ R&D support projects. Since 2021, KISA has established a Hall of Fame board and is currently displaying a total of 316 companies at its Sejong headquarters.

This time, Director Kim visited HVM, a global advanced metal specialist company located in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, established in 2003. Based on its proprietary technology, HVM is leading the localization and globalization of advanced metals and was listed on the Korea Exchange last June.

Director Kim visited HVM’s Seosan factory to review the processing and control technologies of advanced metal materials. He also held a meeting with HVM Vice President Choi Jae-young to hear opinions on the SME R&D support projects and the Hall of Fame system.

Director Kim stated, “Through HVM’s listing and entry into the global market, I was able to feel the importance of SME R&D,” adding, “Going forward, KISA will actively communicate with companies and strengthen support through multifaceted measures to promote SME R&D and the dissemination of excellent achievements.”
