Kilsa Global (Co-CEOs Philip Park and Sean Tan) announced on the 26th that it has selected five domestic AI startups to participate in the AI specialized exhibition 'AIMX SINGAPORE 2025 (hereinafter AIMX)' to be held in Singapore from November 26th to 28th in collaboration with Seoul AI Hub and MP Singapore.
AIMX is the first standalone AI exhibition held this year. Originally held as a side event to the Singapore government-hosted global startup exhibition "SWITCH," last year, AIMX has become an independent event this year due to the rapid advancements in AI. Focusing on "the practical implementation and future commercialization of cutting-edge AI technologies," the exhibition will feature experts and companies from a variety of AI-related industries, including smart cities, mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, cybersecurity, and content. Conferences, networking, and showcase programs featuring executives from governments, organizations, and large corporations, including venture capitalists, will also be held, providing a one-stop experience of the global AI ecosystem.
Kilsa Global has signed a strategic business agreement with Seoul AI Hub and event organizer MP Singapore (MP Singapore) to support the global expansion of Korean startups. MP Singapore, an affiliate of PICO Group, the world's largest MICE company, has planned and operated over 1,000 international exhibitions and conferences across Asia and Europe. In particular, MP Singapore plans to leverage its strengths in cutting-edge technology and deep tech to develop AIMX into an AI-centric global business platform. Kilsa Global and Seoul AI Hub will actively support Korean AI companies selected for their participation in the event and the establishment of a foundation for their local expansion.
The five companies selected are: Designed AI (AI software framework solution), 3R Innovation (AI-based youth mental healthcare service), Artigenspace (AI·AR/XR convergence smart manufacturing solution), Coconut Silo (logistics SaaS and AI solution), and Fresh Hour (AI·big data-based pet tech). All five companies are Seoul AI Hub fostered companies. They have secured AI technologies and solutions specialized in each industrial field that is attracting attention in the Southeast Asian market as well as Singapore, and have been recognized for their potential for global expansion.
Starting in September, Kilsa Global will operate a pre-program customized program for selected companies. This program includes a kickoff call (overall program introduction), a one-on-one business review (global business model review, specific exhibition participation goals for each company), an online seminar (lectures on practical application know-how based on pre-event demand surveys), and online meetings to identify potential customers and partners. Rather than providing one-time exhibition participation support, Kilsa Global will design an action plan with concrete implementation in mind. Based on this, during the November exhibition period, the program will support companies with practical collaboration opportunities through visits to local organizations and companies, one-on-one buyer meetings, and networking with venture capitalists and partners. Furthermore, follow-up meetings and local commercialization support will continue after the exhibition.
Philip Park, Co-CEO of Kilsa Global, said, “AIMX is a practical business exhibition where deep tech innovative companies can directly connect with the global AI ecosystem.” He added, “Kilsa Global believes that execution-oriented localization is more important than anything else for companies to expand globally. Based on this philosophy, we will fully support the entire growth cycle from preliminary preparation to on-site execution and follow-up commercialization so that Korean AI companies can produce tangible results through AIMX.”
