지난 10년간 정부 정책 및 산업 현황에 관해 월간지 인터뷰와 기획기사를 담당해온 월간인물은 한 단계 더 나은 성장을 위해 영문 전용 매거진을 제작하게 되었습니다.

월간인물이 발간하는 영문 전용 매거진 ‘alchedek(알케덱)’은 파울로 코엘료의 소설 ‘연금술사’에서 연금술사를 의미하는 ‘Alchemist’와 ‘Melchizedek’의 합성어에서 출발했으며, 현재 ‘alchedek’은 월간인물의 영문 전용 매거진을 나타내는 고유명사입니다. 또한, 알케덱은 코트라(대한무역투자진흥공사)에 공식적으로 배부되고 있으며, 기관 내 무역자료실에서 제작하는 코트라 뉴스레터의 자료로 공유되고 있습니다.

많은 기업과 연구자들이 국내를 넘어 해외 시장 판로를 개척하고 있는 모습에 언론 매체로서 조금이나마 도움을 드리고자 제작 및 유통을 시작하게 된 만큼, 알케덱을 통해 우리나라 기업들의 뛰어난 능력이 세계에 알려지기를 바라며 국내 최초로 한국에 기반을 둔 영문 전용 기술 및 산업경제 매거진이 되어 국내를 넘어 세계 비즈니스 산업 소식을 전하는 중심 언론사가 되고자 합니다. ‘알키미스트(Alchemist, 연금술사)’는 중세시대 납을 금으로 만들고자 실험을 반복했습니다. 무모한 도전이었고, 당연하게도 납을 금으로 만드는 일에는 실패했지만, 근대 화학이 발전할 수 있는 토대를 마련하는 역사의 아이러니를 남겼습니다. 저희 ‘alchedek’ 역시 국내를 넘어 세계로 진출하며 또 다른 기회와 발전의 역사를 만들어 보고자 합니다.
