Rootfinders, which develops digital accessibility solutions for the visually impaired, has been selected as the first 'Innovation Premier 1000' for 2025.
'Innovation Premier 1000' is an industry-finance cooperative support program jointly hosted by 13 government ministries including the Financial Services Commission, and its purpose is to provide intensive support in policy finance and non-financial sectors to companies with innovation and growth potential.
In this round, a total of 509 small and medium-sized enterprises were finally selected, and Rootfinders was named as a representative innovative company in the field of artificial intelligence (AI analysis) after receiving recommendations from the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
Rootfinders is developing 'EasyPlus', an AI-based media accessibility platform for the visually impaired. This platform improves information accessibility by applying 'Noiseless AI' technology, which removes non-essential elements such as unnecessary images, advertisements, and pop-ups and provides only essential information.
With this selection, Rootfinders will receive various policy support, including support for exclusive financial products (preferential interest rates, expanded loan limits, strengthened guarantee ratios, etc.) through policy finance institutions, as well as non-financial programs such as investment attraction, consulting, and export support, additional points benefits when participating in R&D projects, and issuance of ‘Innovation Premier Certificates.’
Meanwhile, in addition to this selection, Rootfinders has also been selected for Google Play's '7th Window Program' and the Ministry of Science and ICT's GovTech verification and commercialization support project, thereby proving both its technological prowess and marketability.
