KIAT Industrial Technology ODA Program

Industrial Technology ODA Program is KIAT's channel for MOTIE-funded industrial technology aid in developing countries. KIAT uses it to transfer Korean climate and industrial technologies abroad and pairs that work with capacity building and training through its role as a CTCN network member. The programme sits where industrial policy, development cooperation, and climate technology meet, with a recent example in April 2026 involving critical-minerals technology transfer to Vietnam. The instrument is a grant on an annual cycle, with Korean registration and operations required and a consortium structure built into the design. Eligibility allows for-profit firms, universities, non-profits, and research organisations as partners, while individuals are excluded. The technical band runs from TRL 6 to 9, and the programme asks for a prototype, pilot evidence, and 25 percent matching support. The CTCN profile describes KIAT as a public sector organisation focused on climate technology services, collaboration in innovation, investment, and technology development or transfer. Its listed expertise covers renewable energy and water, with keyword matches in bioenergy, biomass for heating and power, waste-to-energy, industrial solid waste, solar, solar thermal, wastewater treatment, and water pollution. Applicants fit best when they can show that the technology is exportable, climate-relevant, and ready to be deployed with local institutional partners in the recipient market.
