高雄市政府經濟發展局轄下新創基地「高雄KO-IN智高點」中駐點新創「金祐國際」，成功研發出「可背式智慧疫苗冷鏈系統（智慧疫苗冰箱）」。為了改善偏鄉醫療，特別捐贈３組設備給位於六龜區的大嘉診所。今（13）日特別舉行捐贈儀式，共同展現出高雄新創的研發量能以及回饋社會公益的心意。
高市府經發局局長廖泰翔表示，金祐國際是KO-IN智高點舉辦的「全國創新創業大賽」第一屆的冠軍團隊，擅長於物聯網產品開發與系統整合方案，競賽中以「智慧疫苗冰箱」為主題的研發內容與創新商模獲得評審團的青睞，隨即透過市府所提供的各項創業資源與專業服務，進駐基地並開啟第二代產品「可背式智慧疫苗冰箱」的國產化與品牌之路。市府積極促成此次合作，讓科技、慈善與商業得以結合形成可持續性營運的創新模式。此外，KO-IN智高點在2023年也成立數位孿生實驗室，落實以大帶小的接單平台，目前已有多個合作專案開展中，期待有更多像金祐國際成功商轉案例產生，開拓更多高雄新創商機。
金祐總經理吳清吉表示，創業機緣來自於某國際知名慈善基金會長期關注偏遠地區的醫療資源不足議題，尤其各種救命的疫苗針劑常因保存不佳而浪費醫療資源，甚至因此損失寶貴生命，故基金會一直積極尋求技術支持並透過多方管道於2018年接觸到我們，經過多次提案與討論交流後即開始合作至今，合作項目從最早的固定型智慧疫苗冰箱之關鍵模組與軟體開發，發展到目前的可背式產品整機生產交付。目前發表的PVF-2000-KUBE產品，除了壓縮機是日本品牌外，全機從真空腔體製作到螺絲螺帽採購再到組立包裝皆made in Taiwan，不僅實現產品在地化的目標，更向基金會爭取到行銷國際化的機會，金祐將以VCC為自有品牌全球行銷可背式智慧疫苗冰箱，把技術跟品牌都留在台灣。
大嘉診所創辦人吳俊漢醫師表示，感謝高市府積極媒合，以及金祐國際發揮企業社會責任。產、官、醫聯手共同改善偏鄉醫療資源不足的問題，期盼透過資源的挹注，讓偏鄉居民得到更妥善的照顧。
KO-IN智高點營運單位、誠研創新總經理鍾金峯特別強調，金祐的商業模式是典型的核心能力創業變現的標竿案例，團隊成員皆來自深耕產業界多年的技術好手與產品化專家，一旦對接到好的商業機會即快速透過介接既有企業資源與技術整合來實現共研接單。先求有單來測試市場，再求成長來放大市場的精實創業邏輯與操作心法值得創業公司研究取用。金祐國際基於取之社會應回饋社會的初心，亦歡迎國內其他有智慧疫苗冰箱需求的偏鄉醫療單位可聯繫KO-IN智高點洽詢合作事宜(07-2225876)。
