RoK strengthens technology transfer, connectivity with Vietnam.

Since mid-2024, the ministry has collaborated with the Korea Technology Finance Corporation and private organizations with local networks in Vietnam to assess the technological needs of companies in both countries, with a view to increasing support for technology transfer connections.

To date, the initiative has identified 19 Vietnamese companies requiring specific technologies and 53 Korean SMEs interested in exporting their innovations. Eight successful matches have already been made.

Kim Woo Soon, head of the Technology Innovation Policy Division at the ministry, emphasized that the project is seen as a significant opportunity to revitalize technology exports among Korean SMEs. He also mentioned plans to gradually expand this model to other eligible countries for similar support initiatives.
