Comments from Executive Corporate Officer and CTO, Euivin Park

"We are very pleased to once again host Tech-Verse 2026 following last year’s event. This year, with ‘AI’ and ‘Core Technology’ as the pillars of what we see as the next-generation standard, we will share our vision for evolving everything—from our product (Agent i) to our development environment and organization—into an AI-first model.

We have significantly redesigned the program this year to go beyond individual technical discussions and provide a realistic look at our company-wide AI shift. The sessions will cover topics such as AI-driven infrastructure operations and the specific processes behind ‘AX (AI Transformation),’ which enhances engineering productivity. The program is packed with real-world challenges and experiences from the front lines. We invite you to experience a new perspective on product development."
