A space has been created for companies in the Science Belt to discover demand and to transfer, disseminate, and commercialize research results.

The Research and Development Special Zone Promotion Foundation, Insight Biz Lab, and Technology and Happiness Co., Ltd. held the '2021 International Science Business Belt Functional Zone Technology Transfer Briefing Session' on the 24th at the BCC Network Space on the 2nd floor of Cheonan SB Plaza and online.

The Science Belt Support Project is a project that establishes an optimal demand-technology matching process, from demand discovery, research result transfer, diffusion, and commercialization technology discovery to post-technology transfer commercialization linkage for companies located in the Science Belt.

The International Science Business Belt consists of designated hub districts, such as Sindong, Dungok, and Doryeong, to serve as bases for basic research, and functional districts for applied research, development research, and commercialization in conjunction with hub districts, such as Cheonan, Sejong, and Cheongju. It aims to build a world-class basic research environment and strengthen national competitiveness through the convergence of basic research and business.

The Science Belt Technology-Demand Discovery and Linkage Project supports customized full-cycle technology commercialization for companies through technology demand diagnosis and analysis. To this end, the program includes the following: △Technology demand survey and R&D demand survey targeting companies within the science belt, △Demand survey for challenging technologies, △Demand response technology discovery and matching after specifying demand technologies, △SMK writing and business model design, △Technology transfer support, and △Follow-up support for commercialization.

This event also provided guidance on the approval system for business restructuring plans for preemptive business transformation and entry into new industries.

Business restructuring refers to the act of enhancing a company's competitiveness through restructuring the company's business structure (structural change) and activities to improve the productivity of all or part of the business (business innovation).

The target of the business restructuring plan approval is △oversupplied industries △industrial crisis areas △entry into new industries, etc. Among them, the target of entry into new industries is 223 technologies according to Table 7 of the Special Tax Exceptions and Restrictions Act.

Key support benefits include tax incentives such as expanded deduction limits for accumulated losses, reductions in registration and license taxes, and deferral of capital gains taxation; preferential treatment when participating in government projects; financial support such as government-funded small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) business conversion policy funds; preferential guarantees for Shinbo and Kibo business reorganization (conversion); and support funds for strengthening business competitiveness of the Korea Development Bank.

The following technology presentations included: △Confocal 3D oral scanner technology, △Slow-release local anesthetics, △Hydrogen electric vehicle materials and components technology, △Electric vehicle thermal management system technology, △Hydrogen charging technology utilizing liquefied hydrogen, and △Self-healing material technology for next-generation displays.

Confocal 3D intraoral scanner technology is a non-contact scanner technology that measures 3D oral models using optical methods.

This technology offers advantages such as increased patient convenience, data preservation, improved precision, and simplified treatment processes.

The technology is expected to be utilized in domestic and international dental hospitals, dental laboratories, presses, and mold manufacturing industries, and its application area is expected to expand due to the removal of entry barriers through price reduction and the guarantee of high precision.

Local anesthetics capable of sustained release are sustained-release local anesthetics that provide long-acting pain control by sustained release of ion complexes formed by charged drugs and counter ions, and their effects last for more than 24 hours due to sustained release.

It is expected to be applicable to wound dressings for painless burn treatment, and the market size is expected to continue to increase due to advantages such as better patient compliance and reduced treatment costs.

The Korea Automobile Research Institute's 'Hydrogen Electric Vehicle Material Component Technology' announced the following: △ Fuel cell separator flow path member (10-2020-0169671), △ Fuel cell separator device (10-2021-0039414, 0039415), △ Fuel cell separator (10-2020-0121976), △ Fuel cell device (10-2020-0121977), △ Fuel cell unit cell device (10-2020-0121976), △ Fuel cell unit cell device (10-2020-0100542), and △ Fuel cell device (10-2021-0093978).

The Korea Automobile Research Institute's 'Electric Vehicle Thermal Management System Technology' presented electric vehicle air conditioning systems, heat pumps, indirect thermal management modules using new refrigerants, and key components.

After the technology presentation, technology transfer consultations were held on the presented technology and small-scale technologies from public research institutes.
