Allink Co., Ltd. (Representative Lee Hye-moon), a startup company of the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS, Director Lee Jung-hwan), a government-funded research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT, and Naom Co., Ltd. (Representative Kwon Soon-park), a startup company of the Korea Railroad Research Institute (Director Han Seok-yun), have joined forces to address the fine dust problem.

The Korea Institute of Materials Science announced that its startup company Allink signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Naom on the 12th and has committed to actively addressing the national challenge of fine dust problem resolution.

The strategic business agreement between the startup companies holds significant meaning as it represents inter-venture cooperation among enterprises spun out from government-funded research institutes and serves as the first case of strengthening small and medium-sized enterprise competitiveness through the convergence of materials and components with artificial intelligence solutions.

Allink Co., Ltd. is a green venture company conducting clean future and innovative materials and components business based on three-dimensional aluminum coating technology. Its core business areas include fine dust removal and pathogenic bacteria elimination, related businesses and indoor air purification for special industries such as data centers and clean rooms, as well as MID (Molded Interconnected Device) business for lightweight future transportation systems.

Allink Co., Ltd. has developed an air purification system for air handling units that can purify indoor air in large buildings more economically and effectively, enabling the supply of clean air free from fine dust and pathogenic bacteria. The company successfully completed demonstration tests by applying this system to air handling units of a major financial institution last year.

Allink Co., Ltd. obtained green technology certification based on its proprietary 'fine dust removal system equipped with a conductive filter module' and concluded a sales contract with YG Entertainment, a major domestic entertainment agency, completing the installation of 30 sets in their new headquarters in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul.

Through this business agreement, Allink Co., Ltd. will integrate its 'low-pressure-drop high-efficiency conductive filter module product line' and Naom will integrate its 'artificial intelligence solution technology' for centralized management. This enables real-time verification of air quality improvement status, and through artificial intelligence, proactively manages the condition of air handling units, filter replacement cycles, and other factors, thereby achieving synergistic effects of maximizing operational effectiveness and minimizing operational costs.

Lee Jung-hwan, Director of the Korea Institute of Materials Science, stated, "Through this business agreement, we will do our best to achieve optimal indoor air quality management by integrating Naom's artificial intelligence solution technology with Allink's products," and added, "We will continue to provide support to apply the products not only to places where many people gather such as large-scale marts, subway stations, hospitals, and clean rooms, but also to workplaces that must maintain clean environments such as semiconductor, display, food, and pharmaceutical industries."
