[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Ajou Group emphasized digital transformation as the key to sustainable growth in the new year of 2021, the Year of the White Ox.

On the 4th, Ajou Group shared the CEO's New Year's message with domestic and overseas business sites through digital means. The New Year's message was composed as a digital video featuring an interview format between the AI voice recognition robot of IT-specialized affiliate MTcom and Ajou Group Chairman Moon Kyu-young. The format of a conversation with a host embodied the value of interactive communication.

Chairman Moon Kyu-young of Ajou Group stated, "This year, we will transform innovatively through digital transformation," emphasizing the new year's management focus: "In the post-COVID era with great uncertainty, we will establish a clear direction and develop crisis response capabilities."

Ajou Group actively pursued research and development of core AI technologies after acquiring MTcom in 2017. Since then, it has been creating a smart work system by applying AI image recognition technology to mobile aggregate receiving services in the construction materials sector, which had low IT utilization. In 2021, the group plans to accelerate digital transformation through robotic process automation (RPA) systems and big data utilization.

They announced 'Business Site of the Year' and 'Ajou Person of the Year' remotely and conveyed a message to move forward vigorously and steadfastly despite difficult circumstances in the Year of the White Ox, 2021.

Chairman Moon said, "Digital transformation is not only applicable to IT companies or departments but can be a new solution in all fields, including traditional business sectors," adding, "Especially, we will take the rapid digital changes driven by the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to expand a corporate culture of smart work and communication throughout 2021."

Meanwhile, Ajou Group started in 1960 as Ajou Industry, focusing on construction materials, and has diversified its business areas to hotels, venture capital, automobile distribution, IT, and more. MTcom provides solutions for customer protection and service improvement based on AI technologies such as deep learning, machine learning-based vision technology, voice analysis, and natural language processing.
