디지털 혁신에 대한 벤처투자 촉진 및 활성화

As the venture investment market is shrinking globally due to the uncertainty in the global financial environment caused by high interest rates and high inflation, governments and domestic support organizations are emphasizing the importance of supporting ventures and startups, and the industry and government are working together to respond to the crisis. In Korea, the supply side of venture finance is characterized by a large share of policy funds, and although the share of total private investment is increasing due to the recent increase in the investment of financial institutions, the role of policy funds is still important, and venture capital and angel investments with expertise are not playing their full role, so there is still a large tendency to rely on government support for financing. As digitalization progresses and new technologies and services continue to emerge, the government should actively support companies with high growth potential, such as those in new growth industries. To overcome the crisis in the venture and startup ecosystem, it is necessary to prepare networking conditions such as local connections of domestic startups and exchanges with the local startup ecosystem (venture capitalists, large companies, etc.) and regulatory innovations. In addition, we believe that the government should continue to revise relevant laws and support measures to revitalize the secondary market by easing IPO requirements, improve the system for activating CVC, and enhance the dynamism of the venture market so that the role of the private sector in the venture investment ecosystem can be strengthened. In this article, we will examine the institutional and legislative status of the government's efforts to expand venture investment, and in particular, we will review the legal issues and improvement tasks for expanding investment in the latest technologies for digital transformation and the availability of venture capital and investment attraction.
