Moloco, a global AI advertising solutions company, announced that CEO Ahn Ik-jin received the Minister's Award for Merit in the "2025 Venture Startup Promotion (Overseas Korean Venture Business Category)" from the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. This marks the company's second government award, following the Prime Minister's Award for Merit in the "2025 Software Industry Development" category earlier this year.
The Venture and Startup Promotion Award recognizes and rewards companies that have driven the revitalization and innovative growth of the venture and startup ecosystem. The Overseas Korean Venture Company category is awarded to companies that have demonstrated competitive technology and performance in the global market. Moloco was highly recognized for its contributions to global business competitiveness and the development of the domestic advertising industry ecosystem through its AI-based advertising solution.
Moloco has grown into a global unicorn company based on its proprietary technology and unique business model, establishing a sustainable business structure. Maintaining a balance between technology investment and management performance, thereby ensuring financial soundness, is also cited as a factor in strengthening its position as a global venture company.
In addition, Moloco is helping various businesses grow in the advertising, media, and commerce industries through three core solutions: ▲ Moloco Ads, which supports global user acquisition using first-party data; ▲ MCM (Moloco Commerce Media), which helps commerce platforms build their own advertising businesses; and ▲ MSM (Moloco Streaming Monetization), which supports advertising operations optimized for streaming, OTT, and CTV environments.
CEO Ahn Ik-jin said, “Moloco has maintained its competitiveness in both domestic and international markets because our customer-centric philosophy, AI-based advertising technology, and innovative business model have been recognized.” He added, “We will continue to create success stories that will be helpful to domestic ventures and startups seeking to expand into the global market, and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem by fostering AI talent.”
