Smart Manufacturing Innovation Promotion Team Supports Smart Factories and Also Assists Investment Attraction

Strengthening Investment Attraction Capabilities for Smart Factory Support Companies
Applications Open for IR Consulting Program Participants

The Smart Manufacturing Innovation Promotion Team, affiliated with the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs, announced on the 1st that it will implement an 'IR Consulting Program to Strengthen Investment Attraction Capabilities' for companies participating in the smart factory support project.

This program aims to support companies that have introduced smart factories to achieve sustainable growth through external investment attraction. The Promotion Team plans to provide practical support so that companies can attract funds from investors by strengthening their IR (Investor Relations) capabilities.

The IR consulting program will proceed in three stages: ▲company diagnosis ▲customized consulting ▲investor connection and networking. It focuses on enhancing company-specific customized consulting to resolve practical difficulties encountered during the investment attraction process and strengthening the ability to prepare IR materials that can gain trust from investors.

Additionally, through practical mock presentations and expert feedback, an IR demo day for investors will be held to enable companies to confidently present in actual investment attraction environments. This will provide participating companies with direct pitching opportunities to increase the possibility of actual investment linkage, and continuous support for follow-up investment attraction will be maintained even after the program ends.

The Promotion Team will recruit companies wishing to attract investment, select 10 companies to support through in-depth evaluation based on submitted documents by mid-May, and start full-scale education and consulting for company development from the end of May. Ang Kwanghyun, head of the Promotion Team, said, “Through this IR consulting program, we will actively support smart factory support companies to acquire investment capabilities and continuously grow by linking with private investment,” adding, “The core goal of this program is to help companies communicate effectively with investors without relying on government support and to equip them with competitiveness suited to the AI era.”
