Hesis, a company backed by Hannam University Technology Holdings, is accelerating the commercialization of its technology after attracting investment and being selected for various government programs.
According to Hannam University on Monday, Hesis, the sixth portfolio company of the Hannam Technology Holdings investment association, holds commercialization potential in technologies for improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions in semiconductor processes. The company received seed investment from Hannam Technology Holdings in October 2025, followed by a subsequent investment from the Daejeon Center for Creative Economy and Innovation in April this year.
The company was also selected consecutively this year for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' Startup Growth (Didimdol) R&D program and Pre-TIPS, and was ultimately selected for the TIPS program on June 30, once again earning recognition for its technological capabilities and business viability.
Hesis is a technology startup being incubated at Hannam University's Business Incubation Center, developing thermal management solutions for semiconductor processes based on nano-carbon materials. The technology precisely controls the temperature of piping that transports chemicals and gases in the semiconductor manufacturing process, improving production efficiency and reducing energy consumption. It is regarded as a next-generation solution that can simultaneously enhance both the productivity and eco-friendliness of semiconductor processes.
This year, Hesis expanded its production facilities to establish a mass-production system and began exporting canister heaters overseas, laying the foundation for full-scale commercialization.
"With this selection for the TIPS program as a turning point, we will focus on further advancing the performance of our products and securing the stability and durability that customers can trust," said Jang Sang-hyun, CEO of Hesis. "Through cooperation with major domestic and international semiconductor manufacturers, we will carry out technology verification and secure customer references to further strengthen our competitiveness in the global market."
"We will continue to discover excellent technology startups and revitalize the regional technology startup ecosystem by linking investment with growth support," said Won Gu-hwan, CEO of Hannam University Technology Holdings.
