[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Mirae Asset Financial Group will invest in 'Deep Tech' (Deep Tech· Advanced Technology) companies.

According to related industries on the 12th, Mirae Asset Securities will invest 65 billion won in Mirae Asset Global Deep Tech Investment Association No. 1, which is scheduled to be created on the 29th.

The total size of the fund is 80 billion won, and external investors, including Mirae Asset Capital, an operator (GP), will invest 15 billion won. Mirae Asset Capital is also considering increasing the fund after the fund is formed. The investment period is 5 years and the duration is 10 years.

The first global deep tech fund plans to invest in start-ups that develop and sell advanced hardware or software based on science. It is expected to invest in space, AI (artificial intelligence), semiconductors, secondary batteries, and robotics industries.

Mirae Asset Group has made such an investment because it chose DeepTech as its future food. Investments are actively underway to foster deep-tech start-ups, mainly in the U.S. and European countries, and the Korean government is also expanding investment and policy support to revitalize deep-tech start-ups.
