This year, letters of intent to invest were received for all 10 drone startups that conducted IR presentations. Accordingly, the KIAST plans to continue supporting various aspects, including investor meetings and investment confirmation procedures, until the end of the year.
- Total of KRW 12.6 billion in letters of intent to invest received for 10 drone companies (as of May 24, 2024 (Friday))
Through the Drone Company Investment Briefing Session, 7 companies have secured a total of KRW 39.7 billion in investment, demonstrating a unique success story among startup nurturing programs in the aviation and drone sectors.
Furthermore, all investment briefing sessions held to date have been live-streamed on the Korea Institute of Aviation Safety Technology (KIAST) YouTube channel. This allows investors who couldn't attend in person to view company IR presentations anytime, anywhere, and subsequently pursue investments.
In fact, many investors who did not attend the event in person confirmed their investments or are currently in the investment process after viewing the videos. This ensures that the event isn't a one-off occurrence, but rather a continuous effort to discover investors, create meeting opportunities, and provide IR videos, providing continuous support for investment attraction.
Lee Dae-sung, president of the Korea Institute of Aviation Safety Technology (KIAST), who oversaw the event, stated, “We will actively support domestic drone startups with excellent technological capabilities in securing stable funding to enable them to take off. We aim to foster the emergence of unicorn companies in the drone sector in the near future.”
