Inha University recently successfully hosted the “Incheon Biohealth Industry–Academia–Research–Hospital Seminar.”
The seminar, organized by the I-RISE Project Group and the College of Nursing, was designed to strengthen cooperation between regional biohealth companies and the university while supporting domestic companies in expanding into overseas markets.
The event was attended by Ahn Young-mi, Dean of the College of Nursing, faculty members from the College of Nursing, representatives and officials from five major biohealth companies in Incheon, and officials from Inha University Hospital’s Open Lab.
The seminar featured a variety of programs designed to connect the university’s research capabilities with industry needs. It consisted of ▲introductions of participating companies and discussions on technical cooperation with nursing faculty ▲sharing strategies for global market expansion by biohealth companies ▲one-on-one on-site consultations tailored to each company’s specific characteristics.
In particular, Hyun Ji-hoon, Vice Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation at the University of Utah Asia Campus, attended the seminar and provided a practical strategy briefing for entering the U.S. market, along with customized consulting for individual companies. This offered concrete support measures for regional companies preparing for global expansion.
Dean Ahn Young-mi said, “This seminar will serve as an important foundation for realizing the shared-growth model between the local community and the university envisioned by the I-RISE project. We will continue working to strengthen the global competitiveness of regional companies in the bio and healthcare sectors and advance the system for training future talent.”
