Redwit, an R&D data specialist company, is bringing a fresh breeze to the domestic R&D ecosystem with its innovative electronic research notebook solution, 'Goono'. Recently, Redwit achieved the remarkable feat of being simultaneously recognized for its technological prowess and market potential, earning a place in two prestigious programs. First, Redwit was selected for the '2025 D-Unicorn Project,' organized by Daejeon City to foster promising local companies into unicorns. This recognition stems from Redwit's leadership in the digital transformation of research records and its innovation of intellectual property protection infrastructure through 'Goono.' By meeting the stringent criteria of being an unlisted SME or venture company headquartered in Daejeon, established for over three years, and having attracted cumulative investments exceeding 500 million KRW, Redwit has emerged as a key player to lead Daejeon's future. Concurrently, Redwit was also selected for the 'ICT Sector Growth Program,' spearheaded by the National Information Society Agency (NIA), once again proving the outstanding technological capabilities and scalability of its cloud-based research notebook system. This program is designed to intensively support the technology commercialization and business advancement of promising ICT companies, underscoring the high valuation of Redwit's growth potential. 'Goono,' Redwit's core technology, is a next-generation electronic research notebook solution that integrates AI and blockchain technology. It not only securely records and manages research data but also serves as powerful evidence in patent disputes and contributes to adherence to research ethics, establishing itself as an essential tool in the R&D field. Recently, its adoption has been rapidly expanding, reaching public institutions as well as startups in diverse industrial sectors such as biotech and materials. Kim Ji-won, CEO of Redwit, summarized the significance of this simultaneous selection as "a splendid achievement recognizing both Redwit's technological capabilities and marketability." She further expressed Redwit's aspiration to continue leading digital infrastructure innovation, enabling R&D-based companies to manage research data more efficiently and securely. Through these support programs, Redwit will receive multifaceted follow-up assistance, including technology advancement, expansion of demonstration projects, and investment linkages. Building on this momentum, the company is expected to further accelerate the establishment of the domestic R&D digital transformation ecosystem and set new standards for future research environments.
