The plaque ceremony was held Tuesday at Remedie Co., which has expanded into overseas markets including India and NASA after proving its product in domestic and international medical settings
The Public Procurement Service held a plaque ceremony Tuesday to honor a company that improved public services through innovative products while achieving business growth at the same time.
The Public Procurement Service selected Remedie Co. as its latest "Innovation Procurement Top Tier" honoree and presented the company with a plaque Tuesday.
Each month, the agency selects one company from among those that have received a successful rating under its innovative product pilot-use contract program, evaluating candidates across four criteria: innovativeness (30 points), growth potential (30 points), public benefit (20 points) and public resonance (20 points).
Remedie was recognized for its ultralight portable X-ray device, which applies low-dose, high-resolution technology to dramatically reduce the spatial constraints faced in medical settings.
The company stood out not only for demonstrating its product's excellence through pilot programs at domestic public medical facilities but also through overseas field tests, using those results as a springboard to expand into international markets including India and NASA and to build a broader commercial foundation — making it a model case of corporate growth through public procurement.
The Public Procurement Service plans to present the plaque to the selected company and produce a range of content — including interviews and videos — to help the public easily understand the company's and product's growth story, promoting them intensively.
The agency will also actively promote the selected company's products to public institutions through special exhibitions on its innovation marketplace platform, and will provide additional support such as bonus points when the company participates in procurement merit awards and trade exhibitions.
"This Innovation Procurement Top Tier product has not only dramatically improved medical access for patients who have difficulty moving, through portable X-ray technology, but has also successfully entered overseas markets, proving its global competitiveness," said Kang Seong-min, deputy commissioner of the Public Procurement Service. "We will continue to actively support promising innovative companies so they can lead overseas markets on the strength of the credibility they have built through public procurement."
