Space LiinTech Added to George Washington Carver (GWC) Science Park
Voyager Technologies Adds Space-Based Biopharma Company
Space LiinTech has been added to the George Washington Carver (GWC) Science Park located at The Ohio State University (OSU) by Voyager Technologies. The GWC Science Park was established by Voyager as the world's first science park dedicated to in-space research and manufacturing.
"Space LiinTech is a perfect example of the kind of innovative companies we aim to work with to drive advancements in medicine and technology."

South Korea-based Space LiinTech is accelerating the development of new drugs and discovery of new treatments by utilizing the space environment and drop towers. The company aims to broaden international cooperation and development of space-based biopharma solutions. As a tenant of the GWC Science Park, Space LiinTech will gain access to a range of Science Park services, including workshops, access to technical services, from grant writing to venture capital, as well as access to specified OSU hardware and services. Space LiinTech will also drive South Korean interest in partnerships with the GWC Science Park from its consortium of businesses pursuing space research and operations.
"As the commercial space industry grows, Voyager is committed to supporting it through collaborative research partnerships," said Jeffrey Manber, president, International and Space Stations of Voyager. "Space LiinTech is a perfect example of the kind of innovative companies we aim to work with to drive advancements in medicine and technology, and tackle some of our greatest challenges in space in the pursuit of bettering life and back on Earth."
"Voyager and the GWC Science Park offer a unique ecosystem where business and research can thrive," said Hargsoon Yoon, CEO of Space LiinTech. "As a new tenant, we are committed to facilitating the participation of South Korean industries, universities, and government organizations, fostering global collaboration and innovation within this state-of-the-art facility."
Voyager and its partners plan to utilize the GWC Science Park for cooperative research efforts, education on microgravity research and orbital research techniques, and to encourage workforce development and student engagement in space STEM activities. The GWC Science Park's ground-analog laboratory is expected to be used for terrestrial control missions in 1-G (Earth gravity) while parallelling space science activities and serving as a training facility for Principal Investigators to accustom themselves to the space research environment.
