Since 2019, the Ministry and KOTRA have been supporting export tech companies through Collision. Following last year, they operated the Korea Pavilion at Collision again this year in collaboration with the Seoul AI Hub. The Korea Pavilion featured eight AI service companies, including those specializing in on-device customized data platforms, data generation and de-identification technology development, and AI-based agricultural product sorting platforms. Participating companies were given opportunities not only to promote through booths but also to participate in technology trend briefings, pitching sessions, networking with global companies and institutions, and mentoring programs.
