Since last June, when Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, visited Korea and agreed to jointly nurture promising Korean startups in the AI sector through the global corporate collaboration program, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups has been discovering capable AI startups and matching them with OpenAI. In March, 10 startups were finally selected at OpenAI headquarters in San Francisco to participate in this year’s global corporate collaboration program. OpenAI supported the selected startups by providing access to OpenAI services and expert mentoring, while the Ministry of SMEs and Startups offered technical consulting linked with leading AI companies and operated local programs to support entry into the U.S. market.


Wadlee is a startup that develops and supplies the conversational AI shopping agent ‘Gentoo’. Last month, Wadlee visited San Francisco to participate in the Silicon Valley entry support program operated by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for companies participating in the global corporate collaboration program, and as a result of business consultations with OpenAI, signed the OpenAI enterprise contract.



Cho Kyung-won, Director of Startup Policy at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, “As a result of jointly operating the global corporate collaboration program with OpenAI starting this year, meaningful outcomes have been achieved,” and added, “The Ministry of SMEs and Startups will continue to expand collaboration with global leading companies to support the global leap of promising domestic startups.”
