Generative AI startup 42Maru (CEO Dong-Hwan Kim) announced that it will explore AX innovation strategies for 2026 with innovators representing various industries such as agriculture, food, robots, AI humans, and security at the opening talk concert of the '2025 Second Half AX Conference (Subtitle: AX Success Equation 2026)' held at POSCO Tower in Yeoksam, Seoul on the 25th.
This event, hosted by the AX Bridge Committee of the Korea Venture Business Association, aims to address real-world challenges such as PoC failures, data barriers, adoption costs, and lack of operational personnel in actual corporate settings, and share examples of overcoming them, under the theme, "AI adoption: the problem is execution, not technology."
Forty2Maru CEO Kim Dong-hwan will moderate the opening talk concert, discussing the topic, "2025: Where Will Our AX Be?" During this event, he will analyze the current state of AX with panelists from the agriculture, food, robotics, AI humans, and security sectors, and discuss practical business solutions, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and venture companies.
The panelists include Manna CEA CEO Jeon Tae-byeong (Agricultural AI), Gopizza CEO Lim Jae-won (F&B-based global expansion strategy), XYZ CEO Hwang Seong-jae (Robot Transformation RX), and Eastsoft CEO Jeong Sang-won (Interactive AI Human). They will share examples of AX applications in each industry and explore strategies for securing global competitiveness through AI transformation in 2026.
FortyTwoMaru, a generative AI startup, mitigates the illusion of large language models by engineering RAG42, a search-augmented generation technology, and MRC42, an AI reading technology, and provides LLM42, a lightweight, industry-specific model. Furthermore, it supports private mode for enterprises, enabling the use of large AI without internal data security concerns, while also reducing deployment, training, and serving costs.
CEO Kim Dong-hwan stated, “The AI transition has now moved beyond the technical review stage and entered a period where it must be proven with actual results, but the benefits are still concentrated in large corporations.” He added, “Through this conference, we will share concerns and overcoming cases from various industries and help small and medium-sized enterprises and venture companies design their 2026 AX strategies.”
