Introduction
In the olden days before compasses were invented, our
ancestors sailed through the vast sea
looking at the stars in the sky. Today, Korean companies stand tall at the center of
the
global ICT market as the “stars” giving directions.
KakaoTalk, the NO. 1 messaging application in Korea,
changed the game of the mobile messaging
services market. In March 2010,
KakaoTalk started as a simple messaging application,
but now, after 10 years, it has transformed into a comprehensive platform that provides
a variety of
services including payment, shopping, news, TV, and delivery.
Downloading
KakaoTalk application alone enables almost all
the things we do in our daily lives
here in Korea. The number of KakaoTalk
users in Korea is over 45 million, which covers
most of the population. KakaoTalk's success story
extends to the business area,
betting on another game by introducing an AI
personal assistant.
On April 3, 2019, a Korean telecommunication company
succeeded in commercializing 5G services
for the first time in the world,
laying the foundation for building the world's best infrastructure.
After
Korean companies commercialized 5G, the US companies rolled out 5G services in
April
and the UK in May of the same year, but Korean mobile companies took a
step ahead,
widening the gap with continued investment expansion. Comparing
various indicators
regarding 5G service levels among major countries around the
globe, it is clearly visible that
5G in Korea is the best in the world. Now,
the Korean communication industry attempts
to take another leap forward, as it
focuses on walking on a more advanced path.
Korea possesses the state-of-the art technology that is
unrivaled in the world,
especially in last-mile technology. A domestic startup,
MESH KOREA, has succeeded in digitizing
the entire delivery and the logistics
operation process based on IT and data engines
in the domestic logistics
market. Covid-19 made logistics essential to all companies,
demanding more
efficient, advanced logistic services and MESH KOREA provided the solution
to
the logistics issues to the companies.
The ‘Untact-Industry’ is
blooming as Korean companies search for a wise solution to Covid-19,
the
unprecedented disaster in the global economy. In this time of transition, the
Financial News
hosts the 12th Future ICT Forum on June 24th under the theme of
“Global Compass K-STAR, Finding Its Own Path,” at the Westin Josun Hotel in Sogong-ro, Seoul.
In this
year’s forum, Korean global STAR companies—social media, telecommunications,
AI,
and revolutionary—will introduce their stories as pioneers standing at the
forefront of the global market.
We invite all of you to join us in the journey
of knowledge of Korean ICT leadership in the world.
