[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (Chairman Kim Jong-ho, hereinafter referred to as Kibo) announced on the 5th that it plans to conduct the 'Technology Credit Evaluator Qualification Examination,' which has been implemented since 2016 to train specialized personnel in technology finance, a total of three times this year.
The first exam this year will be the Level 3 Technology Credit Evaluator Qualification Examination, held on the 28th of next month in Seoul, Daejeon, and Busan. Applications can be submitted online through the Technology Credit Evaluator Qualification Examination website from the 25th of this month until the 9th of next month. Detailed information regarding this qualification exam can be found on the Technology Credit Evaluator Qualification Examination website and customer center.
A Technology Credit Evaluator performs technology evaluations on specialized technologies or intellectual property rights and other intangible assets held by companies, as well as credit evaluations on overall credit and financial status, calculating these into grades or amounts. It is a professional qualification that allows banks to conduct evaluations independently, and demand is continuously increasing mainly in the financial sector. Since the Technology Credit Evaluator exam was first introduced in 2016, 50 Level 1, 894 Level 2, and 4,025 Level 3 Technology Credit Evaluators have been certified.
Kim Jong-ho, Chairman of Kibo, stated, "As a first mover in technology finance, Kibo has been operating the Technology Credit Evaluator qualification system to expand the base of technology finance," adding, "We will continue to prepare various support measures to take the lead in revitalizing technology finance."
