According to AI TIMES, the Korea Quantum Industry Association held an IR pitching day at COEX on Sept. 10, where 6 quantum companies presented their commercialization plans and fundraising strategies before domestic and overseas investment institutions. In the judging, GQTKorea won the top prize and drew strong in-person interest. The event was designed to link the exhibition’s flow from technology to business and then to investment, bringing together not only presentations but also judging, awards, and networking. Participating companies outlined starting points for revenue, proof-of-concept strategies, customer acquisition methods, and follow-on funding plans across diverse fields such as equipment and components, finance, and drug development. Some explained their expansion potential by adding quantum technology to existing businesses, while others showed market entry paths through supply strategies aimed at reducing the burden on specific customer groups. The article also made it relatively clear which products and services each company would use to test the market first and what validation and customer touchpoints they planned to use to move to the next stage.
Perspective
This event offers a way to gauge whether quantum technology can be translated beyond research results into a business language that investors can understand. More important than the award results is the fact that the participating companies each proposed different entry paths, signaling that the industry has entered a stage where it is being evaluated not on a single wave of optimism, but on a combination of revenue, proof-of-concept, and customer acquisition. In the end, it shows that attention is shifting away from the relative strengths of the technology itself and toward who can build a repeatable business structure the fastest.
