⭐ What is FUTURE9? An open innovation program hosted by KB Kookmin Card where tech startups that has potential are discovered and get support within collaboration with companies, strategic investment attraction, and scale-up.

In last July, as a part of the program “FUTURE9 6th generation”, a month-long screening was conducted for the startups that either have innovative technology or service capabilities in lifestyle, fintech, AI·data·software, mobility, social value, entertainment, blockchain or healthcare·wellness sectors.

A total of 743 startups applied for the program this year, which is a 5.8% increase in the number compared to that of last year. Hands-on staffs of KB Kookmin Card and judges from venture capitals participated in the start-up selection process, including document screening and interviews. As a result, the startups that are highly competent in terms of marketability, business feasibility, competitiveness, and collaboration were sorted out.

The startups participated in the intensive workshop with N15 Partners, which is the managing department and co-operator of FUTURE9. Accordingly, additional ideas were discovered, and specificn collaboration plans were discussed in addition to what the startups suggested in advance to the workshop.
