Advanced Bio & Health Strategic Hub
Linking the Korea-U.S. Bio-Health Ecosystem
As a dedicated bridge between Seoul and Boston, the Strategic Hub links cross-ministerial initiatives and local innovation clusters. We deliver specialized insights, collaborative platforms, and business partnering to accelerate Korea's leap into a global first-mover.
Business Overview
Empowering the full-cycle bio-innovation ecosystem from Korea-U.S. joint R&D and talent circulation to nationwide cluster expansion and commercialization.
Joint R&D &
Talent Circulation
We provide Grant and Joint Call collaboration platforms to accelerate bilateral research while supporting the exchange of top-tier talent and local hiring. Additionally, we offer comprehensive research advisory services, project evaluations, and dispute resolution to safeguard research outputs and enhance negotiation power.
Virtual US
Cluster Expansion
We link cross-ministerial bio-health projects and establish a Virtual US Cluster Hub to connect distributed demands into unified initiatives. Through a structured 'Node-Network-Ecosystem' approach, we expand our presence across the East Coast and throughout the nation to bridge physical distances.
Network-Based Commercialization
We build strategic global open innovation partnerships with local innovative startups and multinational pharmaceutical companies. By delivering customized local regulatory and FDA market intelligence, we facilitate global commercialization, technology licensing, and investment exit opportunities.
Our Mission
“Our mission is to bridge Korea’s cutting-edge bio-health research with Boston’s leading hospitals, universities, pharma, and VC networks to lead the global healthcare innovation.”
Strategic Hub's Areas of Support
R&D Bridge
We accelerate bilateral collaborative research by matching joint research partnerships and planning 1:1 Matching Funds (Joint Calls) with leading U.S. funding agencies such as the NIH. In addition, we provide comprehensive research advisory, IP consulting, and dispute resolution to safeguard research outcomes and enhance local bargaining power.
Talent Bridge
We connect and empower top-tier biohealth talent by facilitating mutual researcher exchanges, including post-doctoral fellows, between Korea and the U.S. Furthermore, we support domestic institutions and enterprises in attracting and recruiting exceptional local talent to strengthen global research competitiveness.
Insight Bridge
We deliver data-driven intelligence and customized information curation regarding the latest trends in U.S. bio policies, local research environments, and FDA regulations. This helps domestic researchers and businesses establish precise strategies and make informed decisions for successful global market entry.
Network Bridge
We establish a Virtual U.S. Cluster Hub centered on the Boston hub to link cross-ministerial projects and expand strategic networks across the East Coast and nationwide. By connecting local universities, hospitals, research institutes, and global pharma, we foster sustainable open innovation partnerships.
Business Development & Market Entry Bridge
We provide end-to-end commercialization support spanning local infrastructure utilization, regulatory consulting, and market entry strategy. Furthermore, we facilitate business partnering, technology licensing (L/O), and global VC investment matching to drive high-impact global exits.
