Selected for the 2025 Global Accelerating Programme
ACE Inventor was selected in June 2025 for the Global Accelerating programme run by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development, worth 45 million won over a period running to December 2025.
Its markets are Japan, the United States and Europe. Building energy regulation is tightening in all three, and in regions with heavy snowfall the case for a heating-integrated module becomes explicit.
It was the second international programme after the TIPS overseas marketing scheme of November 2024, and the company has combined exhibition attendance with partner development and preparation of online sales channels.
Certification is the remaining gate. TUV assessment began in June 2026, with full-scale exports targeted from 2027.
