KYUNGPOOK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COOPERATION FOUNDATION
KYUNGPOOK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY - ACADEMIC COOPERATION FOUNDATION demonstrates a strong and growing focus on pharmaceutical innovation, with "Pharmaceutical Preparations" and "Therapeutic Activity (Pharma)" accounting for 31.5% and 23.8% of its portfolio, respectively, both showing significant growth in 2024 and 2025 before a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its strong pharma core, the foundation is also rapidly expanding its "Peptides & Proteins" patents, which grew by 200.0% in 2025 and an additional 66.7% so far in 2026, indicating an emerging specialization within biotechnology.
