[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Kim Byung-jun, CEO of the youth startup 'Hantech' (photo), will attend the inauguration ceremony of the 20th president, held tomorrow (10th), as recommended by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.


Social venture company Hantech has developed a solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to warn drivers and pedestrians on the road of accident risks. Hantech's technology is applied in various aspects of smart cities, with the children's traffic safety assistant 'AidenDun' being a representative example.


A Hantech official said, "Hantech's goal to realize a convenient and happy future city through coexistence aligns with the 'Digital Platform' initiative and technology announced by the Presidential Transition Committee."


CEO Kim stated, "It is meaningful that the CEO of a youth startup approaching its second year since establishment has been officially invited," adding, "We will continue to strive for a better society based on the values of 'safety, happiness, and coexistence.'"


Meanwhile, CEO Kim was recommended as a candidate in the 'Smart City' field for the honorary mayor of Seoul, and in December last year, he received the investment-type technology evaluation TI-4 grade, corresponding to the technology screening pass grade for KOSDAQ special technology listing, for smart city solution development technology.



Additionally, he received the President Award of the Korea Invention Promotion Association at the '2021 Korea Invention Patent Exhibition' hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and the Encouragement Award in the comprehensive safety industry category at the 'Safety Innovation Product of the Year 2021' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
