Traveling to South Korea‘s Silicon Valley
H-FARM Consultancy team
The far East area is the place where every technology is developed, nowadays. Countries like China and South Korea are the new tech hubs where trends start and then spread worldwide. In Seoul there are the headquarters of tech giants like Samsung, LG, Selvas AI, Naver Corporation, and many more; around them, thousands of startups. This vibrant market is one we are targeting with CELI, our society specialized in artificial intelligence and language technology.
Did you know that South Korea has its own Silicon Valley?
We’re talking about the Pangyo Techno Valley (PTV), a huge area just outside Seoul that came to light a few years ago but rapidly became the center of new tech trends and inventions. The construction of the Pangyo Valley is part of a project that the Korean government started after the Asian economic crisis of the mid-’90s. Among the other goals of this project are teaching students computer programming and attracting tech companies with favorable taxes.
South Korea risked it all, succeeded and now is a global innovation leader.
This is one of the reasons why we are fascinated to meet companies from the PTV area: we’re always looking for new professional opportunities and we love to discover the latest technology trends in the voice and AI field.
We had the chance to meet multinationals like Samsung and Naver Corporation (the “Korean Google”, the most important search engine of East Asia). We already worked with Naver when we integrated Text-O-Phone (ToP), our multilingual front-end solution for text-to-speech systems.
We presented our technologies, solutions, and strategic language consulting services, that we believe can make a difference in a world where vocal technologies and AI applications run fast. As a company with 20 years of experience in Natural Language Processing and Data Science, we believe in the power of AI and we are committed to sharing its potential with other companies.
