Epson announced on July 27 that it has made an additional investment in the domestic inkjet technology startup Gosan Tech through its investment fund, EP-GB L.P. This investment follows a strategic investment made in 2025 and aims to strengthen collaboration in the manufacturing of next-generation perovskite solar cells (PSC) using inkjet technology.
Founded in 2015, Gosan Tech has expanded its business from inkjet systems for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) manufacturing to include perovskite solar cell production systems and applications in the biomedical field.
Applying inkjet processes in the promising perovskite solar cell sector is seen as a key technology for reducing material usage and enhancing production efficiency, facilitating large-scale production and commercialization. Gosan Tech is developing and commercializing solar cell modules and manufacturing equipment based on this technology.
Since its initial investment last year, Epson has supported Gosan Tech's growth by supplying industrial printheads through Korea Epson. With this additional investment, Epson plans to broaden the application of inkjet technology in the next-generation eco-friendly energy sector and promote market expansion.
This decision is part of Epson's long-term vision, 'ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035,' announced in March.
Jun Morohushi, CEO of Korea Epson, stated, "This additional investment will further strengthen the technological collaboration between the two companies. We aim to contribute to the expansion of the domestic inkjet ecosystem and the sustainable development of the industry through printhead supply and technical support."
