Startup Toss Lab, Job Creation and Innovation Expansion in the Region

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Toss Lab (CEO Kim Dae-hyun), a startup that has supported export companies under the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Headquarters, is recording innovative growth.

KITA Gwangju-Jeonnam Headquarters and Toss Lab signed a 'Business Agreement to Support Innovation for Export Companies in the Gwangju-Jeonnam Region' and will open a development research office at the Gwangju Trade Center (located in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City) on the 27th.

Toss Lab, a KITA member company, provides the business collaboration tool 'JANDI,' chosen by 300,000 teams across about 70 countries including Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, and achieved a cumulative investment of 27 billion KRW last September.

Last July, it also won 3rd place at the ‘KITA X Startup Open Innovation Demo Day’ aimed at enhancing productivity and spreading digital innovation in the trade industry.

KITA plans to continue cooperation with Toss Lab to promote innovative solutions for enhancing the competitiveness of local export companies and accelerating digital transformation, provide benefits to member companies, and hold joint business innovation seminars in the future.

To ensure that global startups like this continue to create local employment and spread innovation, focused support and benefits for residency at the Gwangju Trade Center will be provided.

Team Leader Jin Hyung-seok of KITA stated, "We will actively support virtuous cycle cases where export startups create innovation and employment locally, using the Gwangju Trade Center as a base."

CEO Kim of Toss Lab said, "With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of remote work, we will contribute to the digital transformation of the trade industry not only by spreading business collaboration tools but also through continuous education and seminar opportunities."
