On July 22, 2024 ACE Inventor was designated a Value-Up core company under the Korea Technology Finance Corporation's integrated support programme for technology transfer and commercialization, an assessment that weighs commercialization capability and growth potential.

The evaluation covered the company's development capability from materials through to modules and its readiness for mass production. The designation led to direct investment from KIBO and selection for its integrated support programme in 2025.

The Value-Up designation links technology transfer with commercialization support. The assessment took account of the three core technologies ACE Inventor had licensed from the Sookmyung Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation to build its core technology stack.

The relationship with KIBO continued in stages: TECH Valley selection in January 2024, Value-Up designation in July, direct investment in May 2025 and selection for the integrated support programme in July 2025.
