Korea’s initial public offering (IPO) market is expected to see a revival in the early months of this year, driven by technology-focused growth sectors such as robotics, biotechnology and medical devices, securities industry officials said Thursday. Analysts said the IPO market is entering an upcycle, coinciding with a KOSPI rally and a spillover effect from regulatory reforms introduced in the second half of last year. Those reforms delayed some listings, which are now expected to be concentrated in this year. In December, six companies, including Cosmo Robotics, Inventera and MEZOO, received approval from the Korea Exchange for preliminary listing reviews. These firms are now coordinating key details such as deal structures, target price bands and demand forecast schedules with their underwriters, with the filing of securities registration statements expected to begin as early as February. The companies that cleared the preliminary review are notable for their differentiated technologies and business strengths. Cosmo Robotics specializes in autonomous robots and robot control system
