			<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa987484415841009.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Bichedam has completed its Phase I clinical trial of BCD101, a natural product-derived drug candidate. Based on the study results, the company plans to accelerate the development of a therapeutic for degenerative vascular diseases.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Bichedam Co., Ltd. (CEO Ho-Bin Moon) announced on the 18th that it has successfully completed the Phase I clinical trial of its natural product-derived drug candidate, BCD101, and has submitted both the Clinical Trial Conduct Report and the Clinical Trial Completion Report to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Phase I study was conducted at Chungbuk National University Hospital, with Professor Min-Gyu Park serving as the Principal Investigator (PI). The trial was designed as a randomized, double-blind, single- and multiple-ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BCD101 in healthy adult volunteers.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">According to Bichedam, participant enrollment began on September 22, 2025, and the last participant completed the final follow-up visit on May 15, 2026. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported during the study, confirming the favorable safety and tolerability of BCD101.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">BCD101 is a natural product-derived drug candidate containing puerarin as its primary pharmacologically active ingredient. Puerarin is known for its diverse pharmacological activities, including vasodilation, antioxidant effects, neuroprotection, and improvement of microcirculation.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">However, puerarin has traditionally been limited by poor aqueous solubility and low membrane permeability, resulting in low oral bioavailability. Bichedam has focused on improving the oral absorption of puerarin through its proprietary multi-herbal extraction technology utilizing six medicinal herbs.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The Phase I study demonstrated that, following oral administration of BCD101, the time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) was 0.25 hours across all dose groups. The company also reported stable systemic exposure based on key pharmacokinetic parameters, including the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Bichedam stated that these findings provide the first clinical evidence supporting the feasibility of oral administration of puerarin in humans. The results are particularly significant because they suggest the potential to develop an orally administered therapeutic, eliminating the need for injectable formulations.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Ho-Bin Moon, CEO of Bichedam, commented:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&gt; "Our Phase I trial confirmed stable systemic exposure of puerarin following oral administration of BCD101. Based on these pharmacokinetic data, we plan to advance rapidly into a Phase II clinical trial targeting degenerative vascular diseases."</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Building on the successful completion of the Phase I study, Bichedam has initiated preparations for a Phase II clinical trial to develop BCD101 as a treatment for Nocturnal Leg Cramps (NLC) associated with peripheral microcirculatory disorders. The study will be led by Professor Ki-Yuk Jang of the Division of Cardiology, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, who will serve as the Principal Investigator (PI).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa74b5a58e3609003.jpg" alt="" /> <img class="aligncenter" style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa75c0c31c6710775.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">[The Korean Medicine Newspaper] Clinical research demonstrating that Modified Saengmaeksan (BCD101) has positive effects on improving arterial stiffness in middle-aged women has been published in an international scientific journal.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The study confirmed reductions in vascular age, improvements in blood pressure parameters, high medication adherence, and a favorable safety profile, highlighting the clinical potential of herbal medicine-based strategies for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">As an outcome of the Public Resource Development Project for Korean Medicine Treatment Technologies, the study is also considered significant for establishing a foundation for the future development of novel herbal pharmaceuticals.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The research, titled "Modified Saengmaeksan for Arterial Stiffness in Middle-Aged Women: A Feasibility Study," was conducted jointly by Professor Jeong-Tae Lim's research team from the Department of Diagnostics, College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, and Bichedam Co., Ltd.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The paper was published in the SCIE-indexed journal, European Journal of Integrative Medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The study represents one of the major outcomes of the Public Resource Development Project for Korean Medicine Treatment Technologies (HI16C0275), an initiative led by the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development (NIKOM). The project aims to transform the clinical experience and prescription technologies accumulated by individual Korean medicine clinics into institutionalized research and establish them as shared resources for the Korean medicine community.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">### Feasibility Study Targeting Menopausal Arterial Stiffness in 30 Middle-Aged Women</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Based on a herbal prescription that has long been used in clinical practice, the research team developed a standardized formulation, BCD101, and evaluated its efficacy through a scientific clinical study. The research serves as an example of both the modern reinterpretation of a traditional herbal prescription and its potential for industrial application.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The study was designed as a single-arm, prospective observational feasibility study conducted at Bichedam Korean Medicine Clinic, with the objective of assessing the practical applicability of BCD101 in a real-world clinical setting.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A total of 30 middle-aged women, ranging in age from 43 to 67 years, received Modified Saengmaeksan for four weeks, during which changes in vascular health indicators were evaluated. The study is particularly noteworthy for focusing on arterial stiffness, which increases rapidly after menopause.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The evaluation included vascular age measured using the Second Derivative of the Photoplethysmogram (SDPTG), the Augmentation Index (AIx), blood pressure-related parameters, heart rate variability (HRV), and the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP). To ensure safety, laboratory blood tests, including liver function assessments, were also performed throughout the study.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa74b481fc7159995.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Significant Improvements in Augmentation Index and Blood Pressure After Four Weeks of Treatment</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The study demonstrated positive changes across multiple vascular health indicators following four weeks of treatment with Modified Saengmaeksan (BCD101).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">One of the most notable findings was a mean reduction of 15.9 years in vascular age, as measured using the Second Derivative of the Photoplethysmogram (SDPTG). This change was highly statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001), suggesting a meaningful improvement in vascular elasticity.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In addition, the Augmentation Index (AIx)—a key indicator of arterial stiffness—showed a significant reduction. Improvements were also observed in major blood pressure parameters, including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and central aortic blood pressure.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Patient-reported outcomes, assessed using the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP), also demonstrated statistically significant improvement, indicating meaningful clinical benefits perceived by the participants.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">"Arterial Stiffness Is a Key Cardiovascular Risk Factor"—Study Suggests an Expanded Role for Korean Medicine</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Dr. Na-Hyun Jo, the study's first author and a doctoral candidate in the Department of Diagnostics, College of Korean Medicine, Wonkwang University, stated:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&gt; "Arterial stiffness is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke, and it increases rapidly in women after menopause. This study suggests that herbal medicine may contribute not only to symptom relief but also to improvements in vascular function, providing evidence for an expanded role of Korean medicine in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases."</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Another noteworthy outcome of the study was its excellent safety profile and high treatment adherence. All 30 participants completed the study without any dropouts, and the average medication adherence rate reached 94.4%, indicating excellent compliance.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Furthermore, safety evaluations, including liver function tests, revealed no serious adverse events, supporting the clinical applicability of Modified Saengmaeksan (BCD101).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Professor Jeong-Tae Lim, co-corresponding author of the study, commented:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">"Although this was a single-arm pilot study, we successfully achieved complete data collection and a high level of participant adherence.These findings support the feasibility of conducting larger-scale clinical trials in the future."</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">&lt;img style="max-width: 900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa75c311852602627.jpg" alt="" /&gt;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Multiple Mechanisms, Including Rho-Kinase Inhibition, May Contribute to Improved Vascular Function</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The research team also proposed several potential mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of Modified Saengmaeksan (BCD101).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Ho-Bin Moon, CEO of Bichedam Co., Ltd., stated:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&gt; "Modified Saengmaeksan is expected to promote vascular health through multiple mechanisms, including improvement of endothelial function, reduction of oxidative stress, and suppression of inflammatory responses."</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The researchers further suggested that the combined actions of the herbal components—including inhibition of the Rho-kinase signaling pathway, promotion of vasodilation, and attenuation of vascular remodeling—may collectively contribute to the observed improvements in vascular function.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Unlike conventional Western medicine, which often targets a single molecular pathway, these findings reflect the multi-target therapeutic characteristics of herbal medicine, where multiple biological pathways may work synergistically to improve vascular health.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Soo-Hyun Kwon, Team Leader at the National Institute for Korean Medicine Development (NIKOM) and the project lead for the Public Resource Development Program, commented:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&gt; "The Public Resource Development Project, which began in 2017, has progressed from foundational research to Phase I and Phase II clinical studies and is now advancing toward the regulatory approval process for a novel herbal medicine for cardiovascular disease. As the initial investment in herbal medicine research and development is now yielding tangible outcomes, continued support for R&amp;D will be essential."</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The research team also emphasized that cardiovascular disease accounts for more than 30% of deaths worldwide, highlighting the importance of exploring the preventive potential of herbal medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Given its non-invasive nature and favorable safety profile, herbal medicine may serve as a complementary strategy alongside existing therapies and contribute to the development of a prevention-oriented healthcare system in aging societies.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Professor Jeong-Tae Lim added:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:center;">"Although this was a single-arm pilot study, we achieved a high medication adherence rate of 94.4% and complete data collection, supporting the feasibility of conducting larger-scale clinical trials. Moving forward, we plan to conduct randomized controlled trials including a control group to more clearly establish the preventive effects of Modified Saengmaeksan on cardiovascular disease."</p>

			<link><![CDATA[http://bichedam.co.kr/?kboard_content_redirect=98]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa987484415841009.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>비체담이 천연물 유래 신약 후보물질 BCD101의 임상 1상 시험을 완료했다.<br />회사는 이번 결과를 바탕으로 퇴행성 혈관질환 치료제 개발을 본격화한다.</p>
<p>주식회사 비체담(대표 문호빈)은 천연물 유래 신약 후보물질 ‘BCD101’의 임상 1상 시험을 완료하고,<br />식품의약품안전처에 임상시험 실시상황 보고서 및 종료 보고서를 제출했다고 18일 밝혔다.</p>
<p>이번 임상시험은 충북대학교병원에서 박민규 교수를 시험책임자로 진행됐다.<br />건강한 성인 자원자를 대상으로 BCD101의 안전성, 내약성 및 약동학적 특성을 평가하기 위해<br />무작위배정, 이중눈가림, 단회·반복투여, 용량증량 방식으로 설계됐다.</p>
<p>비체담에 따르면 임상시험은 2025년 9월 22일 첫 시험대상자 등록을 시작으로, 올해 5월 15일 마지막 시험대상자의 최종 관찰을 마쳤다.<br />시험 기간 중 중대한 이상사례는 보고되지 않았으며, 회사는 BCD101의 안전성과 내약성을 확인했다고 설명했다.</p>
<p>BCD101은 푸에라린(Puerarin)을 핵심 약리 성분으로 하는 천연물 유래 신약 후보물질이다.<br />푸에라린은 혈관 확장, 항산화, 신경 보호, 미세순환 개선 등 다양한 약리 활성을 가진 성분으로 알려져 있다.</p>
<p>다만 푸에라린은 낮은 용해도와 지질막 투과성으로 인해 경구 투여 시 생체이용률이 낮다는 한계가 있었다.<br />비체담은 6종 생약의 복합 추출 기술을 통해 푸에라린의 경구 흡수율 개선 가능성을 확인하는 데 집중해 왔다.</p>
<p>이번 임상 결과, BCD101 경구 투여 후 모든 용량군에서 최고 혈중농도 도달 시간(Tmax)은 0.25시간으로 나타났다.<br />회사는 혈장 내 최고 혈중농도(Cmax)와 혈중농도-시간 곡선하 면적(AUC) 등 주요 약동학 지표에서도 안정적인 전신 노출이 확인됐다고 밝혔다.</p>
<p>비체담은 이번 결과가 푸에라린의 경구 투여 가능성을 인체에서 확인한 사례라고 설명했다.<br />특히 주사제에 의존하지 않고 경구 복용이 가능한 치료제 개발 가능성을 제시했다는 점에서 의미가 있다고 평가했다.</p>
<p>문호빈 비체담 대표는 “이번 임상 1상에서 BCD101을 통한 푸에라린의 안정적인 경구 전신 노출 동태가 확인됐다”며<br />“확보된 전신 노출 데이터를 바탕으로 퇴행성 혈관질환 임상 2상에 조기 진입할 것”이라고 말했다.</p>
<p>비체담은 임상 1상 결과를 바탕으로 말초 미세순환 장애와 관련된 야간하지경련(NLC) 치료제 개발을 위한 임상 2상 준비에 착수한다.<br />해당 임상은 가톨릭대학교 서울성모병원 순환기내과 장기육 교수가 시험책임자(PI)를 맡아 진행될 예정이다.</p>]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://bichedam.co.kr/?kboard_content_redirect=97]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa74b5a58e3609003.jpg" alt="" /> <img style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa75c0c31c6710775.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>[한의신문] 생맥산가감방(BCD101)이 중년 여성의 동맥경직도 개선에 긍정적인 효과를 보였다는 임상연구 결과가 국제학술지에 발표됐다.<br />특히 혈관연령 감소, 혈압지표 개선, 높은 복약 순응도 및 안전성 확보까지 확인되면서 한약 기반 심혈관질환 예방 전략의 임상적 가능성이 제시됐다는 평가다.<br />이번 연구는 한의약치료기술 공공자원화 사업의 성과로, 향후 한약제제의 신약 개발로 이어질 수 있는 기반을 마련했다는 점에서도 주목된다. <br /><br />원광대 한의대 진단학교실 임정태 교수 연구팀과 ㈜비체담이 공동 수행한 ‘중년 여성의 동맥경직도 개선을 위한<br />생맥산가감방: 실행가능성 연구(Modified Saengmaeksan for arterial stiffness in middle-aged women: A feasibility study)’라는 제하의 연구논문이</p>
<p>SCIE급 저널 ‘European Journal of Integrative Medicine’에 게재됐다.<br />이번 연구는 한국한의약진흥원이 추진해온 ‘한의약치료기술 공공자원화 사업(HI16C0275)’의 대표적 성과로,<br />해당 사업은 개별 한의의료기관이 보유한 임상 경험과 처방 기술을 제도권 연구로 전환하고, 이를 한의계 전체의 공용자산으로 축적하고자 진행되고 있다.<br /><br />◎ 중년 여성 30명 대상 폐경기 동맥경직도 초점…‘타당성 연구’ 설계<br /><br />연구팀은 실제 임상에서 활용돼 온 생맥산가감방을 기반으로 표준화된 제제 ‘BCD101’를 개발하고, 이를 과학적 임상연구로 검증하는 과정을 수행했다.이는 전통 처방의 현대적 재해석과 산업화 가능성을 동시에 모색한 사례다.<br /><br />이번 연구는 비체담한의원에서 수행된 단일군 전향적 관찰연구로, 실제 임상 환경에서의 적용 가능성을 평가하는 ‘타당성 연구(feasibility study)’ 형태로 설계됐다.<br /><br />연구 대상은 43세부터 67세까지의 중년 여성 30명으로, 4주간 생맥산가감방을 투여하며 혈관 건강 지표 변화를 분석했다. 특히 폐경기 이후 급격히 증가하는 동맥경직도를 주요 타깃으로 설정했다는 점에서 임상적 의미가 크다.<br /><br />측정 지표로는 △이차 미분 광혈량측정법(SDPTG) 기반 혈관연령 △증강지수(Augmentation Index) △혈압 관련 지표 △심박수 변이도 △환자 자가 평가 지표(MYMOP) 등이 활용됐으며, 안전성 확보를 위해 간 기능 검사 등 혈액검사를 병행했다.<br /><br /><img style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa74b481fc7159995.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>◎ 4주 투여 후 증강지수·혈압 지표 동반 개선…“동맥경직도 유의 시사”<br /><br />연구 결과, 4주간의 생맥산가감방 투여 후 혈관 건강 지표 전반에서 긍정적인 변화가 확인됐다.<br /><br />가장 주목되는 결과는 가속도맥파(SDPTG) 기반 혈관연령이 평균 15.9세 감소했다는 점으로, 이는 통계적으로 매우 유의한 수준(p&lt;0.001)의 변화로, 혈관 탄성 개선 가능성을 시사한다.<br /><br />또한 동맥경직도를 나타내는 핵심 지표인 증강지수(Augmentation Index) 역시 유의하게 감소했으며 △수축기혈압 △이완기혈압 △중심동맥압 등 주요 혈압 지표에서도 전반적인 개선이 확인됐다.<br /><br />환자들이 직접 평가한 증상 개선 지표(MYMOP) 또한 통계적으로 유의한 향상을 보이며, 임상 체감 효과 역시 긍정적으로 나타났다.<br /><br />◎ “동맥경직도 ‘핵심 위험인자’…심혈관질환 예방에서 한의약 역할 확인”<br /><br />연구 1저자인 조나현 한의사(원광대 한의대 진단학교실 박사과정)는 “동맥경직도는 심근경색과 뇌졸중 등 주요 심혈관질환의 핵심 위험인자로, 특히 폐경 이후 여성에서 급격히 증가하는 특징이 있다”면서 “이번 연구는 한약이 단순 증상 완화를 넘어 혈관 기능 개선에 기여할 수 있는 가능성을 확인한 것으로, 심혈관질환 예방 영역에서 한의약의 역할을 확장할 수 있는 근거로 볼 수 있다”고 분석했다.<br /><br />이번 연구에서 또 하나 주목되는 점은 안전성과 순응도다. 연구 대상자 전원(30명)이 중도 탈락 없이 연구를 완료했으며, 평균 복약 순응도는 94.4%로 매우 높은 수준을 기록했다.<br /><br />또한 간 기능 검사 등 안전성 평가에서 심각한 이상반응이 관찰되지 않아 생맥산가감방의 임상 적용 가능성이 확인됐다. 공동 교신저자인 임정태 교수는 “단일군 예비연구임에도 불구하고 완전한 데이터 수집과 높은 순응도를 확보했다는 점에서 향후 대규모 임상시험의 타당성을 입증한 결과”라고 평가했다.<br /><br /><img style="max-width:900px;" src="https://bichedam.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/kboard_attached/1/202605/6a0fa75c311852602627.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>◎ “Rho-kinase 억제 등 다중기전 기반 혈관 기능 개선 시사”<br /><br />연구팀은 생맥산가감방의 작용 기전에 대해서도 다각적인 가능성을 제시했다. 문호빈 ㈜비체담 대표는 “생맥산가감방은 혈관내피세포 기능 개선, 산화스트레스 감소, 염증 반응 억제 등 복합적인 기전을 통해 혈관 건강에 기여할 것으로 기대된다”고 밝혔다.<br /><br />특히 △Rho-kinase 경로 억제 △혈관 이완 유도 △혈관 리모델링 완화 등 기존 연구에서 확인된 약재별 작용이 복합적으로 작용할 가능성이 도출됐는데, 이는 단일 타깃 중심의 서양의학적 접근과 달리 다중 경로를 통한 기능 개선이라는 한약의 특성을 반영한 결과로 분석된다.<br /><br />공공자원화 사업을 주도했던 권수현 한국한의약진흥원 팀장은 “2017년부터 시작된 공공자원화 연구가 현재 1상, 2상 임상 단계로 이어지고 있으며, 심혈관질환 한약제제 신약 허가 과정으로 발전하고 있다”면서 “초기 투자였던 한약제제 연구개발이 실제 성과로 돌아오고 있는 과정인 만큼 지속적인 R&amp;D 지원이 필요하다”고 당부했다.<br /><br />한편 연구팀은 전 세계 사망 원인의 30% 이상이 심혈관질환이라는 점을 강조하며, 한약의 예방적 활용 가능성에 주목했다.<br /><br />특히 비침습적이고 안전성이 높은 한약 치료는 기존 치료를 보완하는 전략으로 활용될 수 있으며, 고령화사회에서 예방 중심 의료체계 구축에 기여할 수 있다는 전망이다.<br /><br />임정태 교수는 “이번 연구는 단일군 예비연구로 진행됐지만 높은 복약 순응도(94.4%)와 완전한 데이터 수집률을 달성해 향후 대규모 임상시험의 타당성을 입증했다”며 “앞으로 대조군을 포함한 무작위 배정 임상시험을 통해 생맥산가감방의 심혈관질환 예방 효과를 더욱 명확히 규명할 계획”이라고 밝혔다. 출처 : 한의신문(https://www.akomnews.com)</p>]]></description>

<p>경상북도와 경북테크노파크(원장 하인성)는 10일 라온제나 호텔(마루&amp;아라홀)에서 2025년 경북지역 투자포럼을 개최했다.<br /><br />경상북도와 경북테크노파크는 이번 포럼을 통해 2025년 한 해 동안 추진된 지원기업의 IPO(상장) 성과·투자유치 결과를 폭넓게 공유하고, 지역 투자생태계의 변화와 성과를 돌아보는 자리를 마련했다.<br /><br />기조 강연에서는 경북창조경제혁신센터 유주현 대표가 경북 기업의 투자·성장 전략과 향후 기술창업 생태계 조성 방안을 제시했다.<br /><br />올해 코스닥 상장(IPO)에 성공한 씨엠티엑스의 IPO 기념식도 열렸다. 씨엠티엑스는 반도체 공정 정밀부품 분야에서 높은 기술력을 바탕으로 성장한 기업으로,<br />2023년부터 경북테크노파크의 전주기 성장지원을 기반으로 올해 상장에 성공한 사례로 소개됐다.<br /><br />또 경북테크노파크 엑셀러레이팅 프로그램을 통해 총 21억원의 투자유치에 성공한 6개 기업(에스메드, 에이포랩, 네스트, 비체담, 휴머닉스, 알오지스틱스)의 투자 기념식도 함께 열렸다.<br />지역 스타트업의 우수한 기술력과 성장 잠재력을 널리 알리는 계기가 됐다.<br /><br />두 번째 강연에서는 2024년에 코스닥 상장(IPO)에 성공한 정중권 성우 상무가 발표했다. 성우는 2차전지 핵심 안전부품 분야에서 기술역량을 높여온 기업으로,<br />상장 추진 단계별 경험과 전략을 공유했다. 특히 IPO 과정에서 마주한 도전과제와 상장 이후 조직문화 변화 등 현실적인 경험들이 참석자들의 공감을 얻었다.<br /><br />포럼 후반에는 대덕벤처파트너스, 인라이트벤처스, IM투자파트너스, 대경지역대학공동기술지주 등 투자기관과 한국거래소, 중소벤처기업진흥공단, 기술보증기금 등 총 10개 기관이 투·융자 상담및 네트워킹 행사를 가졌다.<br /><br />이번 포럼은 상장(IPO) 성공사례와 투자성과를 중심으로 경북 기업의 성장 가능성을 확인하고, 민·관·산·학이 함께하는 투자 생태계 협력 기반을 강화하는 자리가 되었다. 경상북도와 경북테크노파크는 앞으로 지역 기업의 투자-성장-회수로 이어지는 선순환 구조 확립을 위해 지속적으로 지원을 확대해 나갈 계획이다.<br /><br />하인성 경북테크노파크 원장은 “최근 정부가 추진 중인 국민성장펀드 조성 논의는 지역 기업에 새로운 성장자본을 공급할 수 있는 중요한 전환점이 되고 있다”며<br />“벤처생태계가 중앙정부 중심에서 벗어나 지자체가 투자 플랫폼을 구축하고 참여하는 구조로 확대되고 있는 만큼 지역 기업이 성장자본을 확보할 수 있도록 경북테크노파크의 역할을 더욱 강화해 나가겠다”고 말했다.</p>

			<link><![CDATA[http://bichedam.co.kr/?kboard_content_redirect=80]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[<h2>Follow-on Investment from Y&amp;Archer…Expanding Business into Health Supplements</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Bichedam, a natural product-based new drug development company, successfully closed its Pre-Series A round. Both existing and new investors participated in the round, recognizing the company’s growth potential. The company plans to use the investment to accelerate clinical development and enter new business areas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to the venture capital (VC) industry on the 8th, Bichedam secured a total of KRW 1.8 billion in this round. The Korea Technology Finance Corporation (KOTEC) led the investment with KRW 1 billion, and Y&amp;Archer along with Daegyeong Regional University Joint Technology Holding (Daegyeong Tech Holding) also participated. This brings the company’s total cumulative investment to KRW 2.3 billion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Y&amp;Archer and Daegyeong Tech Holding provided follow-on investments after participating in the seed round. Receiving reinvestment from accelerators (ACs) that rarely do follow-on funding is considered significant. Y&amp;Archer utilized the “Gyeongsan City No.2 Venture Fund,” formed as a co-GP consortium with Daegyeong Tech Holding, as the investment vehicle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The company had previously established ties with KOTEC through the 15th KOTEC Venture Camp IR Demo Day, where Bichedam was selected as an outstanding company. Additionally, it was recognized for its competitiveness by being selected for the TIPS program by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups in July last year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Founded in 2022, Bichedam is a bio-startup targeting treatment of chronic geriatric diseases such as hypertension and dementia. Its core technology is a herbal-based ROCK (Rho-associated protein kinase) inhibitor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ROCK inhibitors are promising for treating neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases due to mechanisms such as cytoskeletal remodeling, inflammation regulation, and neuroprotection. Bichedam is developing specialty pharmaceuticals targeting unmet medical needs including nocturnal leg cramps (NLC), geriatric hypertension, and microvascular angina.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With this investment, Bichedam aims to accelerate NLC clinical trials and enter the health supplement market. The company is developing and commercializing products such as “G-Care for Everyone’s Vascular Health” using regional medicinal plants, with plans to expand globally as well as domestically.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bichedam recently opened an affiliated R&amp;D laboratory at the Namdae Startup Incubation Center Production Technology Institute to strengthen research capabilities. This facility will focus on product development requirements including quality control of medicinal herbs and standardization of active ingredients.</p>
