At Dreamforce 2026, the company's largest annual global IT conference, held in San Francisco on the 17th, Salesforce announced expanded strategic cooperation with global technology companies including Google Cloud and AWS.
Through this expanded cooperation, Salesforce said it aims to connect enterprise data, AI agents and work environments while strengthening the AI ecosystem.
Salesforce previously unveiled its next-generation live interface layer, "Aiforce," and its CRM reasoning model, "Coa," and has used them to build a foundation for leveraging a range of AI environments across enterprise data and business contexts.
Salesforce said it will expand connectivity based on the open architecture it presented with Aiforce. The areas to be expanded include cloud infrastructure, data, AI models and collaboration tools. Salesforce said it is focusing on preserving companies' existing systems and governance, with the goal of supporting the use of AI across diverse work environments.
As part of this strategy, Salesforce broadened the scope of its cooperation with Google Cloud. The cooperation covers infrastructure, data and AI agents. Salesforce said Google Cloud will serve as the operating environment for Hyperforce and connect Salesforce's headless architecture with Gemini Enterprise. It also said AI agents on both companies' platforms will be able to perform tasks based on the same enterprise data and business context without separate integration work.
In its cooperation with AWS, Salesforce focused on expanding the real-world touchpoints for AI in business operations. This will allow Salesforce's customer data and business context to be used in Amazon Quick. It will also support integration between AWS AI agents and Slack so work can be carried out within collaboration workflows. In addition, it will enable Agentforce to select and use various foundation models in Amazon Bedrock.
Intellivix, a safe AI deep tech company, said on the 17th that it had submitted a securities registration statement to the Financial Services Commission and begun the public offering process for a KOSDAQ listing.
Intellivix is built on video analytics AI technology and safety monitoring solutions in the public and industrial safety sectors. Based on that, it plans to expand into defense, physical AI and overseas markets.
The total number of shares to be offered is 2.5 million. The desired offering price band is KRW 7,600-9,000, and the total planned offering amount is KRW 19–22.5 billion. Demand forecasting for institutional investors will run from October 12 to 16, and general subscriptions are scheduled for October 21 to 22. Mirae Asset Securities is the lead manager for the listing.
Intellivix plans to use the funds raised through the listing to advance its AI technologies and products, expand its defense and physical AI businesses, and enter global markets.
Jang Jeong-hoon, CEO of Intellivix, said the company is built on field-accumulated data and proprietary AI technology. He explained that the company has been realizing the productization and business results of "safety AI that acts."
Jang said the KOSDAQ listing will serve as an opportunity to expand product competitiveness centered on GenAMS while also strengthening the company's defense and overseas business foundations. He said the goal is to leap forward as a unique company leading the global safety AI market.

NC AI said it has been simultaneously selected for the Ministry of Science and ICT's major physical AI national projects in North Jeolla and South Gyeongsang and will pursue development and demonstration of key physical AI technologies for manufacturing sites in those regions.
On the 17th, NC AI announced that it will begin in earnest the development of core national technologies by participating in the North Jeolla and South Gyeongsang physical AI R&D project pursued by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA). The project will use digital twin, world model and robot foundation model technologies, with the goal of advancing autonomous factory and precision control technologies.
This project is a large-scale national initiative that will run for 5 years from 2026 to 2030, with a total budget of KRW 1.4131 trillion. The core of the project is securing physical AI technologies rooted in the industrial base of North Jeolla and South Gyeongsang.
North Jeolla will carry out 2 major tasks centered on digital twins and unmanned factories. Among them, North Jeolla Task 1 is "Development of collaborative intelligence physical AI digital twin virtual environment technology." The task covers creating factory equipment and workspaces in a 3D virtual environment, simulating worker movements, and reproducing industrial sites in digital space. It will also generate AI training data within the virtual environment, support the training and validation of VLM and VLA models, and establish a foundation for handling various real-world situations through virtual-space training.
South Gyeongsang will participate in the task titled "Development of a physical intelligence behavior model and integrated framework technology." The task involves developing a world model that uses industrial-site data such as sensors and vision to understand the physical conditions of equipment and work environments and predict changes. It will also use a large-scale behavior model (LAM) to plan and control equipment and robot actions suited to on-site conditions, and implement physical AI technology that extends from situation awareness to actual action. The physical AI technologies developed in this way are expected to be applied to manufacturing fields such as shipbuilding welding and semiconductor back-end processes.
Enhans announced on the 17th that it had raised KRW 51.2 billion in Series C funding. This is the largest investment the company has secured since its founding. With this funding round, Enhans' cumulative investment has reached KRW 81 billion.
Based on this large-scale funding, Enhans plans to expand its enterprise agentic AI business. The company said it will use the secured investment to advance AgentOS and expand in domestic and overseas markets.
AgentOS supports the judgment and execution of AI agents. Enhans plans to enhance it around data, processes and execution infrastructure.
In this process, AI will capture, connect and accumulate system-stored data and documents, while also capturing, connecting and accumulating decision criteria and work methods used by frontline experts. Based on this, Enhans will also develop an Industry Pack.
The Industry Pack will contain industry-specific data structures and work rules for manufacturing, finance, distribution and the public sector. Enhans aims to put it into actual use from the initial stage of adoption.
To expand AgentOS across the board, the company will broaden the scope of Computer Use technology. To support this, it also plans to push ahead with strengthening security and governance-related technologies.
Along with this, it has drawn up plans to secure global technology and business talent and expand the organization. It also presented plans to broaden its base of overseas customers and partners.
Meanwhile, ElevenLabs announced on the 17th that it had signed a multi-year licensing agreement and strategic arrangement with UMG. The partnership is based on a multi-year strategic partnership between ElevenLabs and UMG.
The core of the agreement is the joint development of AI audio products for artists and songwriters. The starting point for the broader collaboration is the development of a new AI music creation platform based on officially licensed tracks and artist participation, and development of a licensed AI music creation platform has begun and is underway.
The platform is aimed at fans. It is expected to provide value by expanding opportunities for co-creation using participating artists' and songwriters' music, and it supports remixes and mashups using participating artists' tracks, reinterpretations of new songs and customized vocal experiences. On the platform, users can create remixes, make mashups, reinterpret songs in new ways and enjoy personalized vocal experiences using the music of participating artists and songwriters.
Mati Staniszewski, co-founder and CEO of ElevenLabs, said that combining UMG's expertise in global community and copyright management with ElevenLabs' AI model and product capabilities can help artists and songwriters deliver new experiences to fans, and he added that the process will ensure fair compensation for artists and songwriters.
