Following its collaboration in Daegu last July, KT continues to contribute to the regional economy by fostering innovative companies through a startup cultivation partnership at the Daejeon Creative Economy Center (Daejeon Chang-Gyeong Center).

These are 'Artificial Intelligence Factory', 'Stress Solution', and 'Blue Whale Company'. In addition to technology verification (POC) and growth funding support, KT will provide commercialization promotion and mentoring, as well as support for residency at the Daejeon Startup Open Space.
Artificial Intelligence Factory offers knowledge-based chatbot services and external API-integrated chatbot services on an on-premises platform.
