The 'Open Innovation Daedeok' event, co-hosted by the INNOPOLIS Foundation Daedeok Headquarters alongside DB Insurance, Oracle, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, and Hana Bank, was held on July 29 at the Daejeon Science Center.

This program was designed to match the specific technology demands of four leading global and domestic enterprises with capable DeepTech startups in Daedeok Innopolis, aiming to discover joint Proof of Concept (PoC) projects and accelerate technology commercialization. SYP served as the official organizer of the program, managing the entire operational process—from recruiting and evaluating promising startups to facilitating on-site 1-on-1 business matching.

Through prior evaluation, 11 selected Innopolis startups participated in 1-on-1 meetings with the partner enterprises to discuss technical feasibility, on-site applicability, and concrete commercialization plans across key sectors:

  - DB Insurance: Generative AI-based consultation support and training solutions

  - Oracle: AI-driven data integration, analysis, and intelligent platforms

  - Otsuka Pharmaceutical: Sweat analysis-based hydration and electrolyte management solutions

  - Hana Bank: AI-powered financial data analysis and financial service innovation

The event was attended by executives from participating leading companies, INNOPOLIS officials, and Sungwook Hong, CEO of SYP. Following the event, the INNOPOLIS Foundation and SYP plan to support project proposal development for the identified PoC agendas and connect them with follow-on support systems, including next year's Regional Innovation PoC Scale-Up Program (R&BD).
