New Investments in Korean Startups

South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and chipmaker Nvidia recently hosted a partnership forum. During the event, officials and company representatives met with more than 20 local startup businesses. Nvidia revealed plans to fund several of these growing companies.

The chipmaker announced an investment in Point2. It also shared plans to fund Motif Technologies, RLWRLD, and Upstage. These businesses work across various sectors of the technology industry.

Focus Areas of the Funded Startups

The chosen companies operate in different areas of the technology stack:

• Point2: Builds high-speed data connection systems for large artificial intelligence factories.
• Motif Technologies: Creates large language models, which are software systems trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human language.
• RLWRLD: Develops robotics foundation models to help physical machines perform complex physical tasks.
• Upstage: Focuses on enterprise language models and document processing tools for businesses.

Broad Support for Local Founders

These planned investments add to Nvidia’s existing work with local entrepreneurs. More than 1,000 businesses in the country already participate in the company’s startup support program, which offers technical resources and networking opportunities.
