Podonos delivers Voice AI model performance evaluation results within 12 hours by combining multiple assessment factors—such as pronunciation accuracy, intonation, emotional expression, persona alignment, user preference, and noise handling—while reflecting specific customer requirements. The company operates a Human-in-the-Loop_(HITL) approach that integrates a global network of 150,000 specialized professionals with its proprietary AI automation solutions.AI model developers use Podonos’ solution as a tool to validate and demonstrate model performance, while enterprises seeking to adopt AI leverage it to identify the most suitable AI models. The solution also offers high value as a tool for implementing hyper-personalized persona-based Voice AI.

Summer Robotics has developed a vision solution that leverages a laser event sensor capable of detecting light responses at the microsecond level, enabling robot control even in dynamic and unstructured environments. As a highly rare technology, it achieves four times faster speed compared to traditional robot vision sensors, ultra-precise measurement at the 0.1 mm level, and outstanding power and data efficiency. In particular, it demonstrates exceptional performance in automating tasks such as dynamic assembly, quality inspection, and component handling across manufacturing, logistics, automotive, and semiconductor industries. The co-founding team at Summer Robotics brings over 20 years of accumulated experience in technology research and product leadership in the fields of AI, machine vision, and robotics.

CNAPS AI has developed a studio that identifies and connects the optimal AI models while enabling rapid API deployment. Ultimately, the company aims to build Intelligence Mapping technology that automatically constructs the most efficient workflow—determining which AI models to connect and how to orchestrate them based on performance and cost—when users input their desired end task. CNAPS AI was founded by members with extensive experience in AI research, development, and commercialization at leading global tech companies.

TECHTAKA has developed ARGO, a data-driven integrated logistics platform. It operates multiple IT systems essential for e-commerce logistics — including a Commerce Management System_(CMS), Order Management System_(OMS), Warehouse Management System_(WMS), and Transportation Management System_(TMS) — with all data from product registration to delivery automatically synchronized. TECHTAKA offers services such as NAVER Guaranteed Delivery and Amazon FBA inbound logistics support. The company was founded by team members who successfully led logistics IT projects at Coupang and UPS.

Cashmere is a data infrastructure platform connecting premium content publishers with AI companies.

Petpeotalk has developed a technology that uses AI video analysis to recognize pet behaviors and analyze their expressions, including signs of separation anxiety. Beyond remote monitoring, it enables early detection and management of potential health issues by interpreting behavioral patterns.

We developed a real-time markerless motion capture system utilizing a single LiDAR sensor and an AI model trained on proprietary datasets. This system accurately captures 3D motion for use in film, drama, gaming, and e-commerce for both live and virtual content. Our team consists of KAIST PhD graduates specializing in computer graphics and LiDAR software, with prior experience at Meta Reality Lab, NAVER Z ZEPETO, and SOS LAB.

Datarize automates the entire process of deeply analyzing various customer log data, executing effective campaigns, and analyzing results. It’s a solution that allows marketers with limited CRM experience to handle data and manage campaigns easily. The team was founded by the original team behind “NumberWorks,” a data analytics startup acquired by Kakao in 2016, and consists of members who successfully led enterprise-level data integration and growth initiatives at companies like SK Telecom, Kakao, and Coupang.

Anchor Node is developing a solution that easily generates game artwork—graphic images, motion, and backgrounds—using AI, which is based solely on character and concept inputs. The team has successfully validated IP utilization by launching a new game title in just two weeks with only artwork changes to the same game design, significantly reducing game production time and costs. The target audience includes IP holders looking to expand their IPs in the gaming industry, game developers, and publishers. The team consists of industry veterans with over 20 years of comprehensive game development experience and plans to expand the business in South Korea, the United States, and Europe. The solution is scalable not only for games but also for virtual content creation
