MakinaRocks Receives 'A, A' Rating in Technology Evaluation for KOSDAQ Technology Special Listing

MakinaRocks (CEO Sungho Yoon) , an industry-specific AI (Vertical AI) company, announced on the 11th that it had received an "A, A" rating in a technology evaluation for a technology-specific listing on the KOSDAQ. MakinaRocks has selected Mirae Asset Securities as the lead manager for its listing and will begin full-scale listing procedures, aiming for an initial public offering (IPO) in the first half of 2026.

To qualify for a technology-specific listing, a company must receive an A-BBB or higher rating from two technology evaluation agencies designated by the Korea Exchange. MakinaRocks received an "A" rating from both NICE D&B and Icredible, demonstrating both its industry-specific AI technology and the marketability and scalability of its core platform, "Runway."

MakinaRocks is a vertical AI company specializing in developing AI solutions for high-security industries such as manufacturing and defense. It holds over 100 patents based on its experience in various industrial applications.

Our self-developed AI platform, 'Runway', is an end-to-end AI operation solution that supports the entire process from AI model development to operation and maintenance.

'Runway' was selected in the 'AI Development Platform' category in the 'Global MLOps Market Map' published by global market research firm CB Insights, and is currently active as a key member of the AI Infrastructure Alliance (AIIA) along with global companies such as Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft.

“MachinaRocks aims to develop AI that evolves industries, not AI that replaces people,” said Yoon Seong-ho, CEO of MakinaRocks. “As AI becomes established as the language of industry, our technological prowess and potential will be proven in industrial settings and capital markets.”
