Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) held the "2026 Southeast Region Deep Tech Scale-up Investment Roadshow" on the 12th at Gyeongdong Hall on its Ulsan campus, according to biz.heraldcorp.com. [1] Twelve deep-tech startups from Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang took part, together with 30 reviewers from venture capital firms, securities companies and other investment institutions. [1] The event was arranged so that regional companies could meet investors directly and have their business potential and technology assessed without travelling to the Seoul metropolitan area. [1]

## Participants and format

Each company gave a nine-minute presentation of its core technology and business plan, followed by eight minutes of questions and answers. [1] The startups are preparing follow-on funding at stages from Pre-A to Series A and above. Since October they had completed four preparatory sessions covering investment pitches and refinement of business plans. [1]

The investors comprised 23 venture capital and securities firms, 3 corporate venture capital units, 2 policy finance institutions and 2 technology holding companies. [1] Reviewers wrote letters of intent for investment review for each company. [1]

## Technologies and follow-up

In software, Greeneta presented industrial 3D data generation, and Epuworld showed extended-reality content. In medicine, Glaud offered a dental prosthetics solution and Vidalsonic an endoscopy technology for early cancer detection. [1] In materials and nuclear power, Innoplaztec presented a carbon nanotube conductive additive for batteries, Twinwiz a liquid antibacterial and antifungal additive, Kopa an underfill material for semiconductor packaging, and MUtron a nuclear plant maintenance robot with automated welding. [1] Miratech presented a smart trailer platform and Vivalavida a social community business model for middle-aged and older users. [1]

Based on the letters of intent, UNIST will arrange one-on-one meetings between companies and reviewers through December. It plans to monitor the status of investment reviews until June next year. [1] UNIST president Park Jong-rae said the role of a regional science institute is to build conditions in which deep-tech firms need not leave for the Seoul area to raise funds. [1] In August UNIST reorganized its industry-academia cooperation foundation into the startup institute Venture Foundry, and UNIST Technology Holding registered this year as a venture investment company in the Southeast region.
