Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center (CEO Yongwoo Kim, hereinafter referred to as Busan Creative Economy) announced that childcare company SERA Co., Ltd. (CEO Doyeon Kim) won an award of excellence at the '2025 Welcome to Tips Southeast Region' held at the Busan Asti Hotel on August 28.
This event, hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, was designed to support investment and growth for promising local startups. Sera, a Busan Changgyeong incubator, won an award of excellence at the event, demonstrating its technological prowess and growth potential.
At this year's awards, Sera captured the judges' attention with its "Eco-Friendly Insulation-Combined Smart Wall HVAC System." This innovative architectural solution utilizes natural fiber-based NFRC (new composite material) and lightweight 3D-printed panels, utilizing Wall Displacement Ventilation (WV). Compared to conventional central HVAC systems, it can reduce installation costs by up to 49% and simultaneously achieve insulation, sound absorption, and ventilation, reducing heating and cooling loads while improving indoor air quality.
Sera has also applied this technology to its small AI data center, the "Breed Box," offering a new alternative to the growing global power and thermal management challenges of data centers. Performance verification is currently underway at the KAIST IRIS laboratory, and the company is pursuing domestic procurement and overseas licensing opportunities. The global data center market is expected to more than double from KRW 378 trillion in 2025 to KRW 819 trillion in 2032, demonstrating its substantial market potential.
CEO Kim Do-yeon said, “Sera’s intelligent wall system is not just a simple building material, but a platform technology that comprehensively solves energy, environment, and data infrastructure,” and added, “With this award as an opportunity, we will grow into a global solutions company that accelerates the realization of carbon neutrality by 2050.”
