The ecosystem includes more than 20 unicorns by 2024, such as Toss (fintech), Lunit (healthcare), and Deepbrain AI (media), demonstrating the nation’s strong digital foundation. The government runs strong support programs, like the AI Yangjae Hub and the K-Startup Grand Challenge, to build the ecosystem. This environment attracts significant global investment, but faces challenges such as limited researcher numbers, strict laws like PIPA, and brain drain.
