Daejeon Investment Finance

Daejeon Investment Finance is a venture capital firm based in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, that was founded in 2024. The firm was established as part of an initiative by the Daejeon Metropolitan City to create a dedicated corporate banking and investment entity to support local startups and strategic industries. The city invested public funds with the goal of raising additional private capital.

This initiative aims to transform Daedeok Innopolis, a major science and technology hub in South Korea, into a global innovation cluster by providing essential funding to new technology and venture companies.
