Innovation in AI-Based On-Site Work Automation
AstroRave, a startup supported by Seoul National University of Science and Technology’s Startup Incubation Center, developed ‘NovaWork,’ a platform that automates fire safety inspections and repair work using AI. This platform integrates eight steps from inspection to report writing and repair work, significantly reducing work time and efficiently utilizing on-site experts’ time.
NovaWork features AI document recognition, optimized personnel allocation compliant with regulations, and automatic report generation. It is designed to operate even in unstable communication environments. Beta tests showed that inspection schedules and report writing times were greatly reduced, improving on-site work efficiency.
Cloud Infrastructure Evolving into AI Factories
MangoBoost has established itself as a differentiated AI factory company by launching ‘Mango Inference,’ an AI inference service. Based on AMD Instinct GPUs, it directly designs hardware, software, and networks to enhance price-performance ratio.
The company secured technical competitiveness in the AI infrastructure market by successfully building a multi-region MLPerf cluster, enabling intercontinental data center linkage and heterogeneous computing environments. It plans large-scale data center expansion and global market entry in the future.
Convergence of Blockchain and AI Agent Finance
Mistin Labs is building an AI agent-based financial infrastructure with the Layer 1 blockchain Sui, capable of processing 40 million transactions per second and equipped with a real-time hacking prevention system. This strategy prepares for a future financial environment where AI agents automatically execute financial transactions within user rules.
Sui collaborates with Google Cloud, Samsung Electronics, and others to safely support stablecoin and DeFi transactions on-chain, and is discussing cooperation with domestic financial institutions. However, the activation of technology adoption depends on resolving domestic regulatory uncertainties.
New Semiconductor Materials and Manufacturing Innovation
CIT unveiled ‘ASEDep,’ a single-crystal copper deposition solution that stacks copper at the atomic level to smooth surfaces. This technology overcomes the physical limits of existing copper, improving data transmission speed by up to 30% and reducing heat generation and signal loss.
ASEDep is easy to adopt as it can utilize existing semiconductor manufacturing equipment and is applicable to advanced industries such as high-density integrated AI accelerators, next-generation glass substrates, and 6G communications. CIT received recognition for its technology through a 11.7 billion KRW Series A investment and awards at global startup competitions.
New Marketing Connecting SMEs and Citizens
The Seoul Business Agency (SBA) collaborated with FC Seoul to hold a ‘Brand Day’ at K League home games, providing an opportunity to introduce SME products and services to over 20,000 citizens. Eleven companies from various fields such as beauty, fashion, and pet services participated with pop-up stores and events.
Participating companies experienced positive effects such as increased sales and membership sign-ups on-site. SBA plans to continue promotional marketing to expand contact points between SMEs and citizens.
