Superb AI Named Korea Credit Guarantee Fund's 'Leading Innovator'

Superb AI, a Leader in Industrial AI, Crowned as KODIT's 'Innovation Icon'... Lays the Groundwork for Unicorn Growth

Superb AI, which is bringing the winds of AI innovation to industrial sites, has proudly been named as one of the '14th batch Innovation Icons' by the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (KODIT), gaining powerful momentum for its leap towards becoming a next-generation unicorn company. This selection is deeply significant as it signifies national recognition of Superb AI's unique technological prowess and growth potential. The 'Innovation Icon' program is a core initiative of KODIT that discovers startups with new technologies and innovative business models and supports their scale-up into unicorn companies. Major success stories such as Today House, Lunit, and Dunamu have gone through this program in the past, and the selection process was as fierce as its reputation suggests. For this 14th batch, a total of 143 companies applied, recording a high competition rate of approximately 29:1, and Superb AI achieved a brilliant accomplishment as one of the five final selected companies. Superb AI, selected as an Innovation Icon, will receive exceptional financial benefits over the next three years, including credit guarantees of up to 20 billion KRW, application of the lowest guarantee fee rate of 0.5%, and additional guarantee fee support through partner banks. Furthermore, it is expected to receive full support for non-financial services such as overseas expansion, consulting, and public relations, thereby accelerating its competitiveness in the global market and sustainable growth. Superb AI is leading the industrial AI market by providing optimized vision AI solutions for various industrial sectors, including manufacturing, mobility, physical security, and control systems. In particular, its all-in-one MLOps pipeline, 'Superb Platform,' which comprehensively supports the entire AI development process from data management to model training, visualizes, filters, and labels vast amounts of data, connects to efficient model training, and maximizes collaboration between various departments with its intuitive UI/UX. The recently launched vision foundation model, 'ZERO,' is a flagship product symbolizing Superb AI's technological prowess. Despite a remarkably short development period of just 8 months and 900,000 data points, it has achieved performance equivalent to that of world-class models. It boasts flexibility, being immediately applicable in the field with only text or image prompts without additional training, and its excellence was proven by securing second place in the global vision AI conference CVPR 2025 Challenge. Not stopping there, Superb AI is accelerating its business expansion into physical AI and multimodal AI domains by participating in the Ministry of Science and ICT's 'AI Foundation Model' development project and the 'K-Humanoid Alliance.' CEO Kim Hyun-soo stated, "Being selected as an Innovation Icon by KODIT signifies that Superb AI has been recognized as a next-generation AI company advancing into physical AI and multimodal AI," and expressed his ambition, "Based on KODIT's strong support and the experience gained from national AI projects, we will create practical innovation in industrial sites."
