On January 11, 2024 ACE Inventor was selected as a TECH Valley company by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation (KIBO), securing technology guarantees of KRW 2 billion. The scheme provides guarantees to technology companies on the basis of a technology assessment.

The guarantees established a base for financing production equipment and working capital. The relationship with KIBO continued through selection as a Value-Up core company in 2024 and direct investment and integrated support in 2025.

The Korea Technology Finance Corporation provides guarantees based on an assessment of a company's technology. ACE Inventor was assessed principally on its hydrogel solar cell manufacturing technology, and subsequently completed KIBO's intellectual property valuation process as well.

The guarantees underpinned equipment investment at the Hwaseong factory. The company secured the site in April 2024 and installed equipment over roughly a year, completing a 50 MW annual production line in March 2025.
