The Research and Development Special Zone Promotion Foundation (Special Zone Foundation) is strengthening its support for special zone companies seeking to enter the European market.

On the 17th, the Special Zone Foundation announced that it had signed a business agreement with the Embassy of Denmark in Korea to establish a "deep tech innovation and global cooperation network."

The agreement was signed to strengthen the foundation for special zone companies in the deep tech sector to enter the Nordic market and to formalize the cooperative relationship between the Special Zone Foundation and the Embassy of Denmark in Korea in creating a sustainable innovation ecosystem between the two countries.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will share knowledge, experience, and best practices in technology innovation and commercialization; support the global scaling up of deep tech companies; strengthen collaboration among industry, academia, research institutes, and clusters; identify joint research and development (R&D) needs and promote demonstration cooperation by utilizing the innovation infrastructure of both countries; and establish a global cooperation network through forums and exchange events.

In addition, by leveraging Denmark's local demonstration infrastructure and cluster networks, the two sides plan to support special zone companies in the deep tech sector to enter the European market and to develop a technology-based cooperation model that connects the innovation ecosystems and technology commercialization platforms of both countries.

As a follow-up to the agreement, the two sides will also jointly host the "2025 INNOPOLIS-Denmark C2C Business Exchange" at the Special Zone Foundation on the 25th.

Mikael Hemnity Winter, Ambassador of Denmark to Korea, stated, "This agreement is an important milestone that connects the innovation assets of both countries and promotes practical cooperation in the deep tech sector. If Denmark's open innovation ecosystem and research infrastructure are combined with the technological capabilities and execution power of Korean special zone companies, it will generate meaningful results for both countries."

Jeong Heegwon, Chairman of the Special Zone Foundation, said, "Denmark is a powerhouse in advanced technology fields such as eco-friendly energy, bio, and digital. We expect that this agreement will further strengthen our support for special zone companies in terms of European demonstration and entry into the global market."
