The AX Bridge Committee under the Venture Business Association announced that it will hold the '2026 AX Conference' on December 1 at 1 p.m. at the SKY31 Convention on the 31st floor of Lotte World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul.


Hosted by the Venture Business Association and organized by the AX Bridge Committee, the event is themed 'Beyond AX Demonstration to Expansion.' It aims to connect national AI policies with industry experiences to explore ways to promote AI transformation (AX) among small and venture businesses and foster collaboration between supply and demand companies.


The conference will feature a variety of programs under the slogan 'AX NEXT 2027,' including policy discussions, presentations on corporate AX application cases, lectures on the outlook for the AI and AX industries in 2027, and an AI solution showcase.


A key program, 'AX Policy Live Talk,' will include participation from Ha Jung-woo, the Executive Vice Chairman of the National AI Strategy Committee, and Ko Pyung-seok, CEO of Exem, with Kim Dong-hwan, CEO of 42Maru, serving as the moderator. The discussion will focus on barriers to AI adoption for small and venture businesses, expanding commercialization after demonstration, and sustainable collaboration strategies, allowing policymakers and businesses to share experiences based on real-world scenarios.


Official partners such as Megazone Cloud, 42Maru, Mobigen, and JD Solution will share AX application cases and facilitate business exchanges through AI solution exhibitions. The association plans to expand the actionable tasks identified through a survey of 221 companies last year into policy recommendations and practical corporate collaborations this year.


A representative from the Venture Business Association stated, 'To promote AX among small and venture businesses, it is crucial to create an environment where technology demonstrations can be utilized in actual business settings.' They expressed hope that the conference would provide an opportunity for companies to share the challenges they face in the AI adoption process and for policymakers and industry to seek practical solutions together.


Meanwhile, the AX Bridge Committee of the Venture Business Association held the '2026 AX Bridge Webinar' in August, sharing necessary government policies, physical AI application cases, and data acquisition strategies for the AI transformation of small and venture businesses.
