Alibaba Cloud, the digital technology and intelligence division of Alibaba Group, announced on the 24th that it has signed a partnership with Incheon-based advanced solutions company Uniplus to grow the domestic startup ecosystem.
This collaboration began when Uniplus, a representative tech startup supported by Incheon Metropolitan City, became an official channel partner of Alibaba Cloud. Uniplus plans to provide Alibaba Cloud’s technology and services to domestic startups, focusing on the Incheon area.
Alibaba Cloud explained that this partnership is significant in that it is the first strategic attempt to cooperate with local governments. In particular, it will work with Uniplus to jointly develop a cloud-based Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform based on its own infrastructure, and support Uniplus’ blockchain technology to enter the global market.
The two companies aim to accelerate the digital transformation of startups in the Incheon area and strengthen the competitiveness of local industries by providing next-generation enterprise solutions that combine cloud and blockchain technologies.
“This partnership is an important starting point for creating a regional innovation ecosystem,” said Yongjun Yoon, General Manager of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Korea. “Together with Uniplus, we plan to provide startups with the technology and tools they need, and in cooperation with Incheon Metropolitan City, we will also pursue a regional talent development program tailored to the region.”
Kim Do-gyeom, CEO of Uniplus, said, “This collaboration with Alibaba Cloud is very meaningful as it will provide a foundation for Incheon startups to secure competitiveness in the global market,” and “We will actively support startups to build more robust and scalable business models by utilizing Alibaba Cloud’s cutting-edge technology and cost-effective solutions.”
