KT (030200.KS) said on the 27th that it will join Techsauce Global Summit 2026 in Bangkok from the 26th to the 28th alongside 12 small and medium-sized venture firms it works with.

The Techsauce Global Summit is a leading technology conference in Southeast Asia. This year's exhibition draws about 300 companies under themes including AI transformation (AX), fintech and food tech.

The 12 firms joining KT are Marsys, The Pinkfong Company, Mokkoji, BPro Company, Daim Technology, Allganize Korea, Deeping Source, XL8 AI, Trash Busters, Peach AI, Febo and Greylab. They will showcase technologies spanning IPTV, content, physical AI, large language models (LLMs), AI translation and security. Allganize Korea is reviewing a partnership with KT to enter global markets jointly, while XL8 AI is exploring an expansion into Southeast Asia based on its own AI translation solution.

To support the participating firms' push into Southeast Asia, KT will arrange tailored meetings with local companies that offer strong potential for collaboration, along with one-on-one sessions with global investors.

"We are supporting exhibition participation and IR pitching so that our partner ventures can find new business opportunities in the Southeast Asian market and strengthen their global competitiveness," said Kwon Hye-jin, executive vice president and head of KT's SCM Office. "We will continue to actively support promising small and medium-sized ventures as they expand overseas and grow, building a sustainable ecosystem of shared growth."
