<p>On Feb. 17, 2014, Konkuk University (KU) held an opening ceremony of Konkuk Technology Holdings with a fund of 2.86 million USD, which is to serve as a channel of creating profit from the University's research outcomes. The investment was primarily based on two commercializable technologies developed by KU professors, with a total estimated value of 2.5 million USD. The rest was covered by the KU Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation.</p> <p>At the opening ceremony, KU President Heeyoung Song said, "We expect that Konkuk Technology Holdings will build a virtuous circle of R&D, as universities play a more significant role in the research area. We will spare no effort to cultivate creative businesses that are conducive to the University's competitiveness."</p> <p>The CEO position will be assumed by Dr. Jung-Hyang Sur, President of the KU Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation. Meanwhile, the company will be composed of two subsidiaries, each possessing Prof. Chang-Seon Song's (KU College of Veterinary Medicine) next-generation veterinary vaccine development technology from which cost-effective and highly immunogenic vaccines can be made by utilizing heat-treatment attenuation technology, and Prof. Chang Kyu Park's (KU College of Engineering) 'i-Fashion' technology, a system that produces tailored clothes using 3D human body scan data. The KU Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation plans to selectively choose promising technologies via annual technology competitions and transfer them to Konkuk Technology Holdings through a TF team.</p> <p>"We will yield tangible business outcomes in the biofield by 2016; afterwards, we will endeavor to establish a virtuous cycle of commercialization of research outcomes through vigorous exploration and investment attraction," said Dr. Sur, CEO of Konkuk Technology Holdings.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11587834" /></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: right;">Posted by Eun Jin Cho</p>
