Corporate R&D Center and Dedicated R&D Department registration is a system that recognizes and registers dedicated R&D organizations at companies meeting specific requirements, fostering independent in-house research units and granting various benefits tied to R&D activity to accelerate corporate research and development.
Operated by the Korea Industrial Technology Association (KOITA), companies with qualified dedicated research personnel and independent dedicated research space can obtain recognition through registration.
Because a recognized research institute is a key evaluation criterion for many corporate certifications—including Inno-Biz and venture company confirmation—technology-driven SMEs should treat this as an essential program to review.
