The Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Korea (C4IR KOREA), operated by the Gyeonggi-do Economic and Science Promotion Agency, is recruiting 30 promising deep tech companies to participate in the "2026 Korea Frontier Program" until the 17th of this month.


The Korea Frontier Program is an innovator community initiative designed to help domestic companies with innovative technologies successfully enter overseas markets by leveraging the World Economic Forum (WEF) network.


The program targets companies in future industries such as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors, smart manufacturing, climate, bio, and govtech. Eligible applicants must be incorporated companies that have attracted cumulative investment of at least 3 billion won, with the CEO or a co-founder participating directly and the ability to communicate in English.


Companies selected for the program will receive systematic acceleration support for entering global markets and opportunities to participate in activities linked to the World Economic Forum.

The program provides diagnostics for each company's technology and business model, along with support for developing overseas market entry strategies. Global IR pitching consulting is also included.


In addition, priority is given to participation in major international events of the World Economic Forum, such as the Summer Davos Forum in Dalian, China in June, the Suwon Global Summit Forum in September, and the Innovators Community Annual Meeting in New York, USA in December.

Through these opportunities, companies can interact directly with global leaders and investors.


Furthermore, companies can also participate in technology exchange meetings and global collaboration projects in connection with 4th Industrial Revolution Centers in 24 countries worldwide.



Hyungon Kim, President of the Gyeonggi-do Economic and Science Promotion Agency, stated, "As competition for technological supremacy intensifies, it is important for our deep tech companies to engage with global leaders and leap into the global market. I expect this program will serve as an opportunity to expand growth opportunities for companies based on a global network."
