KT set the theme of this exhibition as “DX Partner DigiCo KT Pioneering the Digital Era.” The exhibition booth design is inspired by the “pioneer ship” of Spain’s Age of Discovery, the host country, and the “whale,” a decisive solution element from the drama co-produced by KT Studio Genie, expressing the DX world KT will create.

KT will set up its booth in the “Industry City,” a shared space by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA). The KT booth will be composed of three themes: ▲DX Platform ▲DX Area Expansion ▲DX Technology Leadership.

First, the DX Platform zone will introduce the AI research portal “Genie Labs,” AI semiconductor manufacturing technology by “Rebellion,” and AI semiconductor design technology by “Moreh.” Additionally, visitors can experience logistics center efficiency solutions and platforms, as well as autonomous driving technologies that can lead the mobility sector.

The DX Area Expansion zone is a space to experience services expanding into various industrial fields such as media and finance in collaboration with group companies, introducing DigiCo services like finance (BC Card) and media (KT Studio Genie). There will also be an experience space for the B2B metaverse platform “Meta Lounge” themed on virtual reality and the personal metaverse service “Geniverse.”

The DX Technology Leadership zone will showcase the “Robot Makers” robot platform providing integrated services for heterogeneous robots and the actual “delivery robot” capable of heating and cooling. A “disinfection robot” will also operate to maintain exhibition hygiene.

As part of GSMA projects, mobile edge computing (MEC) technology jointly developed with global telecom companies can also be seen in the DX Technology Leadership zone. Technologies prepared to enhance 5G services, such as 5G uplink and downlink frequency aggregation technology and integrated antennas for 5G and LTE, will also be exhibited.

Meanwhile, KT is preparing a program for visitors to participate in promoting its representative ESG (environment, social, governance) project, digital citizenship activities, globally. Visitors who check the definition, core values, and aspirations of digital citizenship at each booth during the exhibition tour will receive a small gift.

Yang Yul-mo, KT’s Head of Public Relations (Executive Vice President), said, “KT is striving for DX in other industries based on AI, big data, and cloud technologies,” adding, “We will prepare the MWC 2023 KT exhibition booth so that visitors from around the world can experience the most innovative DX services among telecom companies, from AI semiconductors to next-generation network solutions.”
