IPET Actualizes Support to Commercialize Agro-Food R&D Outcomes
Korea Institute of Planning and Evaluation for Technology in Food, Agriculture and Forestry (IPET) plans to actualize work on support on the whole process of commercializing technologies, such as transacting technologies for market success of excellent agro-food R&D outcomes and market entry of finished development products. IPET was designated as a new technology transaction institution on Dec. 10.
IPET has so far built a foundation to support corporate technology commercialization by expanding its work on the conventional outcome management to technology commercialization to spur the commercialization of excellent agro-food R&D outcomes.
Steps such as spurring of a new excellent technology (NET) certification and designating excellent R&D innovation products in a process, dubbed “Fast Track I” has been in place to prevent the death of excellent technologies and products, owned by agricultural corporations, and settle them at an early state of market entry.
IPET plans to establish “IPET Outcome Archive,” designed to improve and spread public sympathy toward excellent agro-food R&D outcomes and utilize it as a space to share agro-food R&D outcomes.
IPET struck an MOU on spurring investment attraction related to excellent agro-food R&D outcomes with Agriculture Policy Insurance & Finance Service (APIFS) to support fund for agro-food companies’ technology commercialization last Dec. 6.
Under the deal, the two institutions have cooperated in exploring investment technology and company candidates.
IPET former president Oh Byung-suk said, “The key to the success of agro-food R&D depends on the market.”
IPET plans to expand support a whole cycle of commercializing technologies so that people can experience agro-food R&D outcomes during their daily life by expanding close cooperation with related organizations, he added.
