The Korea Software Industry Association (KOSA) announced the launch of the 'AX360°' service on August 4, which integrates information on government AX (AI transition) projects, private sector AI resources, and domestic AI companies and solutions.
As the government rapidly expands its AX initiatives and the private sector increases the supply of AI resources such as GPUs, AI models, and data, related information has been scattered across various departmental websites and individual companies. This has created challenges for businesses, government agencies, and researchers seeking necessary projects and resources. To address these issues, the Ministry of Science and ICT and KOSA have established a one-stop support portal for AX.
AX360° features four main functions: finding government AX projects, locating AX resources, exploring AI demand and supply companies, and providing one-stop support for AX.
The government AX project search function offers an overview of AX projects promoted by various ministries, including target beneficiaries, project duration, budget size, and announcement schedules. Users can search by combining project types such as R&D and proof of concept (PoC) with issuing agencies and local governments, allowing businesses to compare and explore projects without visiting multiple agency websites.
The AX resource search function provides information on GPUs, AI models, and data. It includes performance, application areas, and pricing information for various GPU models, along with details on government GPU provision projects. The AI model section features various types, usage methods, pricing, and case studies, including results from the second evaluation of independent foundation models. Data is presented as a gateway connecting to data exploration platforms like One Window, AI Hub, and My Data, as well as private data distribution and brokerage platforms.
The AI company exploration feature allows users to check the functions, application cases, and pricing models of technologies and solutions held by domestic AI companies. Users can search by combining functional classifications such as infrastructure, data, models, application services, and security with industry sectors like defense, healthcare, and manufacturing, enabling companies pursuing AX to find potential partners with the necessary technologies for collaboration.
In the future, the portal will add a feature allowing users to apply for project planning consulting online, linked to government AX one-stop support. Users will be able to attach information on resources and partner companies found through AX360° when applying for consulting, facilitating the entire process from information exploration to the initiation of AX projects.
Ryu Je-myung, the Second Vice Minister of Science and ICT, stated, "The primary challenge faced by companies and government agencies pursuing AX is the scattered information regarding necessary projects, resources, and partner companies. AX360° consolidates government and private sector AX information from the perspective of users, supporting the entire AX process from resource exploration and acquisition to company discovery, consulting, and technology validation."
