The Korea Research Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP) Foundation announced Thursday it held the "Daedeok Innopolis Deep Connect Network Day" at the Daedeok Techbiz Center in Daejeon to share achievements of its One-Stop Support Center and strengthen public-private cooperation.
The One-Stop Support Center, which opened in April 2025 at Space S in the Daedeok Techbiz Center, provides customized consulting services to companies and prospective entrepreneurs in Daedeok Innopolis facing various challenges during their growth process.
The center deployed a 24-member expert panel organized into four divisions—management, investment, commercialization, and intellectual property—to resolve a total of 83 on-site business challenges for Innopolis companies.
The center also produced tangible results in funding and government program selections. It facilitated 5.1 billion won ($3.6 million) in investment for 10 Innopolis companies and helped four companies secure government R&BD programs including TIPS.
Notable success cases include Cell&Better (200 million won investment with TIPS linkage), Leospace (Technology Innovation Award winner with 500 million won investment from Korea Technology Finance Corporation), Avnotics (selected for "Super Gap 1000+" program with 800 million won raised), and SoftNT (2.8 billion won investment).
The event also introduced the new "Problem-Solving Voucher" program launching this year, which will provide technical support including prototype production and testing certification, commercialization consulting for patent strategy development, and management support covering startup, legal, financial, accounting, and human resources needs.
"The One-Stop Support Center serves as a stepping stone for corporate growth by identifying and resolving challenges in technology commercialization and connecting companies with investment opportunities," said Lim Moon-taek, head of the Daedeok R&D Special Zone Division. "We plan to expand the center's operations this year with new programs."
