, “(Seoul=News1) Reporter Kim Seung-jun = Algenomics Co., Ltd.’s ‘RNA Substitution Enzyme-based Gene Therapy and Autogenous RNA Platform’ has been designated as the first national strategic technology.”,
,
, “The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP) announced on the 29th that the results of the ‘First National Strategic Technology Confirmation Application’ have been notified.”,
,
, “The national strategic technology confirmation system, which was implemented in March, evaluates whether the technology in possession, management, or under research and development by the technology nurturing entity is eligible as a national strategic technology.”,
,
, “A total of 130 applications were submitted for the first application after the implementation, and KISTEP evaluated the scope and level of the technology together with technology experts from industry, academia, and research institutions.”,
,
, “As a result of the evaluation, one of Algenomics’ technologies under research and development was confirmed as a national strategic technology.”,
,
, “Algenomics’ technology pertained to gene delivery technology research and development. This technology can evolve to remove target RNAs that cause intractable diseases and express RNAs containing therapeutic substances.”,
,
, “If national strategic technology ownership is confirmed, benefits can be obtained in technology-related listings and other areas.”,
,
, “Meanwhile, five cases with a high possibility of being national strategic technologies but requiring additional review were put on hold. This is due to insufficient evidence for determining ownership, management, or research and development status, even though they align with the strategic technology scope. They will be reassessed when data supplementation is carried out in the next confirmation announcement.”,
,
, “Kwon Suk-min, Director of the Science and Technology Policy Office at the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, ‘As the public and private sectors are putting efforts into securing national strategic technologies together, it is expected that the number of confirmations for national strategic technologies will increase in the future.’ He added, ‘We will diligently pursue the establishment of a systematic institutional foundation to foster national-level strategic technologies, leading to the enhancement of private sector capabilities.'”
