Discovering promising public technologies, relocating companies...Re-investment in profits if successful

[Anchor]
A "road show" was held to connect promising public technologies discovered by government departments with companies.

If a company that has transferred technology succeeds, it will put a portion of its profits back into promising technology support and discovery.

The medical staff is performing laparoscopic surgery.

It is to remove cancer in the lungs, and the resection site is attached at once with a stapler-like device.

The problem is that some tissues must be removed and examined to see if cancer cells have spread, but not after bonding.
[Kang Min-woong / Chungnam National University Medical School Professor: This blade staple we developed is a stapler that can do a biopsy because the tissue itself here has been maintained]

Based on this technology, which was completed with the support of the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the researchers founded a university company.

It is an essential technology for the surgery site, so it is expected to grow rapidly.

From 6 in 2022 to 9 this year,
will participate in this project to support and discover promising technologies.The number of technologies targeted for
also increased from 600 to 2,800.

[Kim Wan-ki / Director of the Korean Intellectual Property Office: In order for a gemstone to become a diamond-like gemstone, it must be used in a company after all. So that universities and public performances can reinvest the technology fee revenue generated by the technology transfer project back into the previous commercialization....]

Companies that succeed with public technology must invest a certain amount of profit in discovering new technologies,
The company, which develops hydrogen tractors using
eco-friendly hydrogen fuel cells, is a prime example.

[Kim Yong-ju / CEO of hydrogen and electric agricultural machinery research company: Like self-driving. It's unmanned, and it's also automatic transmission. It has the advantage of being able to implement these functions. And since there's no fuel bill....]

In the future, the government plans to not only connect the supply and demand of new technologies that make money, but also build a market for trading and transferring public technology patents at the private level.
