Generative AI startup 42Maru (CEO Dong-Hwan Kim) announced on the 26th that it will participate in 'NextRise 2025' to be held at COEX in Seoul for two days from June 26th to 27th, and discuss business cooperation and investment with domestic and foreign companies and venture capitals (VCs) on the topic of industry-specific full-stack large-scale language models (LLMs) and enterprise AI agents.
NextRise 2025 is the largest global startup event in Asia, co-hosted by the Korea Development Bank, the Korea International Trade Association, the National Research Council of Science and Technology, the Korea Venture Business Association, and the Korea Venture Capital Association. This year, Germany is the guest of honor, and approximately 25,000 people from 28 countries around the world are expected to attend. Various programs such as exhibitions, conferences, and 1:1 meetups are planned, and active cooperation is expected between domestic and foreign startups, large and medium-sized companies, and investors.
FortyTumaru will participate as an invited company this year, following last year, and will seek opportunities for collaboration with clients in each industry, focusing on its self-developed industry-specific LLM 'LLM42' and corporate agent-type AI solutions. In particular, as demand for customized AI solutions based on lightweight models increases, in-depth discussions will be held on-site on technology application methods and introduction strategies tailored to the partner company's usage purposes.
In addition, we will focus on introducing our technology and growth potential through 1:1 meetups with domestic and international venture capitals, and on establishing strategic partnerships for attracting follow-up investment and entering the global market. About 20 companies have applied for a pre-meeting with FortyTwoMaru for this event.
Kim Dong-hwan, CEO of FortiTumaru, said, “At this NextRise, there is a lot of interest in the application performance and practical utility of AI technology by industry,” and “We will lay a strategic foundation targeting the global market through opportunities for collaboration with domestic and foreign companies.”
