Eco-friendly marine mobility solutions company VINSSEN has successfully raised ₩20 billion ($15 million) in investments during its Series C funding round, which commenced last December. Following an initial investment from GS Ventures, a corporate venture capital firm under the GS Group, VINSSEN welcomed Kyobo Securities as a new investor. In addition, the company secured an additional ₩3.5 billion ($2.6 million). VINSSEN aims to leverage this funding to expand facilities and enhance R&D for its hydrogen fuel cell technology in marine applications. Founded in 2017 at the Jeonnam Technopark, VINSSEN established a 4,300㎡ factory in the Daebul National Industrial Complex in 2021. The company focuses on developing fuel cell systems and eco-friendly propulsion systems for vessels. Notably, VINSSEN's marine battery systems have received type approval from the Korea Maritime Transportation Safety Authority (KOMSA) and the Korean Register (KR), affirming their technological excellence. VINSSEN's innovations have seen commercial success, with the 'Garden Dream,' Korea's first fully electric passenger ship, was delivered for the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, operating effectively with stable performance and passing KOMSA's safety inspection this year. Additionally, VINSSEN has successfully collaborated with global energy companies in Singapore to implement hydrogen fuel cell systems in ships as part of the Hydrogen as Marine Fuel Project. VINSSEN will participate in Gastech 2024 from September 17-20 in Houston, US, promoting its transition from fossil fuels to zero-carbon marine propulsion systems. The company will also analyze energy export and import trends and competitiveness among countries to explore new market entry strategies and opportunities, while seeking partnerships through business networking with global companies. Looking ahead, VINSSEN plans to pursue IPO procedures by 2026, solidifying its position as a leader in the eco-friendly marine mobility sector.

Sähköautomarkkinoiden kasvun hiipuminen heijastuu akkumateriaalien tuottajiin myös Koreassa, uutisoi Benchmark (tilaajille): "Leading South Korean cathode producer, EcoPro BM, is contemplating scaling back cathode capacity expansion plans, amidst a global slowdown in EV sales growth that is pressuring margins across the battery supply chain. In late July, EcoPro BM reported a 15% year-on-year decrease in battery material revenue, attributing the decline to reduced downstream demand from the EV industry. The company projected cathode sales into the EV sector would remain ‘limited’ over the remainder of the year." #akkumateriaalit #katodimateriaalit #EcoProBM #korea #investoinnit https://lnkd.in/ehDBffP8
