Cloto Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Hyeon-seok) announced on the 23rd that it will establish an industry-academic cooperation system with the SW-centered university business division of Suncheon National University and will actively pursue AI advancement and field verification based on its government-supported research administration DX service, 'Hello Unicorn'.
This collaboration aims to standardize repetitive administrative tasks companies encounter during government-funded projects, such as research funding execution, documentation, settlement, and post-inspection, using data. This data will then be utilized for AI learning and prediction, proactively reducing the risks of non-recognition, omission, and delay. Klotho aims to leverage the research administration data accumulated during Hello Unicorn's operations to shift research administration from its traditional "paperwork-centric" approach to a "predictable operational system."
A Cloto official explained, “Government-supported projects are leverage for corporate growth, but the burden of research administration often slows down the organization.” He continued, “Hello Unicorn is evolving beyond a simple agency into an infrastructure that allows companies to stably carry out government-supported projects, and we will accelerate the advancement of AI through collaboration with Suncheon National University.”
The Software-Focused University Project at Suncheon National University has evaluated that industry-academic collaboration can simultaneously produce practical AI education and research results based on industry needs. The analysis suggests that combining the school's educational and research capabilities with a company's field data and product operation experience can rapidly implement applicable AI in government-funded research administration.
Through this collaboration, Clotho plans to expand the use of Hello Unicorn-based research administration data. It will analyze various variables arising during government-funded projects using AI and enhance customized operational guides and automated inspection systems for each company. This strategy aims to reduce research administration bottlenecks and expand the research administration DX model, enabling companies to focus on research and commercialization.
Meanwhile, Clotho was recently recognized for its public data-based AI verification capabilities by being selected as one of six finalists for the "OpenData X AI Challenge" hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. Building on this achievement, Clotho plans to expand the scope of AI application beyond government-supported projects and research administration to encompass policy and field-oriented AI solutions.
