After rounds of competition with 140 other candidates, LoadComplete is selected as one of the 12 companies to collabotate with buiness development experts from University of Texas to work on US market strategy.

On 18th, a day after the final presentation in front of judges from UT, we got invited with other 11 companies to attend the governer's event (man left in the picture is the governer o Gyeonggi province, Korea)

This is a great opportunity for LoadComplete, to have expert's counseling on business development, find a right partner, more network in the industry or even a new business opportunity


"The 12 technologies judged to have the highest potential for successful international commercialization were selected to participate in the final phase of the Innovation Program geared to accelerate these ventures and introduce them to the US market."

New office in Suwon!!

In early October, we got accepted to venture incubation center in Ajou University, Suwon. Office is spacy, we pay little compared to commercial office space, and get various supports for being in the incubation center.

The new office has enough room for 10 more employees:D!!!
