#Character live broadcasting solution company Scon created a 3D virtual influencer using KOTRA's mascot character 'Globi.' It contributed to enhancing brand value by applying it to KOTRA's video content.

On the 21st, KOTRA announced that it held the final evaluation meeting of 'Innovation Makers,' which shares such excellent DX (digital transformation) innovation achievements, the day before. It also selected three outstanding collaborative startups.

The event is a KOTRA-style open innovation program that solves current issues of KOTRA's various departments and agile management organizations by collaborating with innovative technology startups. KOTRA provides data and feedback. Startups use this as a testbed to propose solutions. For startups, it is a golden opportunity to freely test new technology performance at a highly credible institution and build a track record. The selected outstanding startups Cventige, Antok, and Scon are no exception.

Jeon Chunwoo, head of KOTRA's Small and Medium Enterprises Division, said, "The event is a great opportunity to stimulate members' innovative ideas and improve work efficiency," adding, "We will continue to promote the event to accelerate KOTRA's DX innovation and help create technology verification and references for startups."
