The Seoul Business Agency (SBA)'s "Digital Transformation (DX)" support project for small and medium-sized companies is drawing attention as it is making results everywhere. DX is a process that uses information technology (IT) such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to improve the work process and corporate culture of traditional small and medium-sized enterprises such as manufacturing to suit the digital era. SSBA is a small and medium-sized enterprise development organization under the Seoul Metropolitan Government. On the 27th, an SBA official said, "We are actively supporting the 'DX' work of small and medium-sized enterprises in Seoul in response to the fourth industrial revolution and the post-COVID-19 era." In order to support the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, the institution is developing three key projects: 'AI-based business innovation support project', 'Seoul corporate digital leadership course', and 'DX capacity building consulting'. F irst of all, the "AI Utilization Business Innovation Support Project" is a project in which the two companies collaborate to develop services after matching startups with AI and big data technologies necessary for services that small and medium-sized companies want to introduce. SBA also supports the cost of developing services (100 million won per project). SBA provided a total of 500 million won in funding for five projects this year. CS Sharing (CEO Lim Ji-eun), which provides a customer satisfaction (CS) agency service called 'Call Center', has been selected as a support target for this project and is currently developing an AI voice recognition bot. The company is working with voice recognition startup Return Zero to develop the service with the aim of launching it next year. When the service is developed, the AI voice bot will take charge of the first response to customers, record customer complaints, and convert them into text and provide them to counselors in the form of bulletin boards. Counselors can read the contents on the bulletin board, handle the work according to the customer's request, and notify the customer of the results by text message. GaonN (CEO Kang Bong-soo), a food technology company that provides nutrition management and food recommendation services for each life cycle, is also undergoing service upgrading with the benefit of the SBA support project. GaonN will join hands with AI and big data startup I'm Cloud to install AI chatbot functions in its childcare-only app "The BabyRestaurant." When the service is developed, an AI chatbot recommends baby food suitable for the baby's nutritional status and allows one-stop purchase. You can also receive 24-hour chatbot counseling services on the baby's bowel movements, pain, and sleep patterns. In addition, the "Seoul Corporate Digital Leadership Course" is a curriculum for executives of small and medium-sized companies in Seoul to enhance their understanding of DX. Through the curriculum that encompasses technology to business aspects, SME management can greatly improve their understanding of digital transformation. You can learn not only theory but also how to actually incorporate digital technology into our companies and businesses. SBA completed training for a total of 110 companies and 669 people with this project this year. "DX Capacity Enhancement Consulting" is a customized practical consulting process that diagnoses current problems and points out points necessary for change for digital transformation of small and medium-sized companies. It will also support follow-up linked projects so that companies can carry out pilot projects and government support projects for practical changes using consulting results. SBA supported a total of five companies for the project this year.

[ 2022 Public Data Utilization Company Casebook] An infant health care app, includes a casebook of companies using public data in 2022
"The baby restaurant is a smart infant health app that provides objective nutritional analysis and customized diet with patent-based algorithms." Q. I've seen a lot of diet management apps for adults, but I think infant diet management apps are rare. Please introduce the restaurant app in more detail. A. The baby restaurant is a health care app that helps you eat proper baby food in infancy. It is not just a diary app that records parenting information, but analyzes information on baby characteristics and nutritional status based on life-cycle databases established by Gaonn's own data and public data from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and recommends foods to eat tomorrow. If you keep recording, you can have 1:1 monthly counseling with nutrition and childcare experts, enabling more professional health care. Q. I think the technology and expertise of a company are very important to provide customized nutrition management services for babies? A. In 2012, while planning a data-based healthcare business at U2 Bio Co., Ltd., a former company that mainly supplied services for hospitals and clinics, we developed a "milk nutrition analysis" service by setting the direction to B2C rather than B2B. At this time, we secured solid technology by identifying the nutritional balance of breast milk through dietary intake and breast milk test data and registering it as a patent. Based on this technology, we made a nutritional balance solution for mothers and children as a service, but it was difficult to apply it to the actual childcare site. Therefore, we established a research institute to develop an objective customized diet management solution based on inspection and measurement, and we are carrying out the project by acquiring a factory that can exclusively produce various recipes researched and developed here. Q. What public data are you currently using and how did you find out? A. The baby restaurant app analyzes the characteristics and nutritional status of the baby recorded by the user with various types of public data provided by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and recommends foods to eat tomorrow to help healthy childcare. This restaurant app uses information on health functional food nutrition DB and food nutrition DB of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Through the promotional materials of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, we learned that various food data such as general food, food ingredients, and processed food can be secured as public data. Without public data, DB would have been established by combining nutrients and composition costs one by one for general food, processed food, and raw materials, and in the process, they would have had to bear considerable cost. Q. Please tell us about Gaonn's future plans and goals. A. Our various services, including The baby Restaurant, expect to achieve 4 billion won in sales as of 2022. Since then, it has grown step by step and aims to achieve 34 billion won by 2026. In addition, we plan to develop and sell integrated solutions and commercialization modules for various services that we are currently providing. Specifically, product-related businesses such as customized meal replacement and functional snacks will be unified into customized nutrition judgment-linked HMR commercialization modules, and the service targets will be expanded by developing new nutritional analysis and judgment app services for women and high-risk patients. In addition, we will develop nutritional improvement and analysis apps and sensors for each purpose that track periods and real-time by 2026 and provide them as integrated solutions.

[ Moneytoday Broadcasting] Gaon & Co., 'Rise' of Dry Food Market New Powerhouse... Does AI win?
Founded in 2015, Gaon & Co. is a company that makes health functional foods necessary to support the unbalanced diet of modern people through nutrition research using artificial intelligence (AI). "GaonN makes and services high-protein snacks based on health data by life cycle," said CEO Kang Bong-soo, "We analyze nutrients needed by modern people to develop snack-type health functional foods and provide customized nutrition analysis services." The product developed by the company based on adult health data is Labalance, a high-protein snack that contains more than 40% protein. If the main high-protein snack on the market has a protein content of 25%, LaBalance contains about 20% more protein CEO Kang Bong-soo explained, "Interest in plant-based protein is rapidly increasing as meat intake is reduced, mainly in the United States, but the importance of protein intake is still low in Asia including Korea. The domestic and international market response to LaBalance is also continuously increasing. In Korea, starting with the arrival of Olive Young in February this year, the company expanded its offline distribution network to more than 700 branches in six months. It has also signed contracts with China, Vietnam, and Thailand, where interest in health functional foods is gradually increasing, to sell Lavalence products. In Hong Kong, products are already sold through brick-and-mortar stores. CEO said, "We are entering the market through a collaborative strategy. Since September, we have been in the process of registering for distribution through our expansion into China and Thailand," he said, adding, "In Hong Kong, we plan to actively promote our products by partnering with postpartum care centers and daycare centers beyond offline sales."

[ ISSUEMAKER] Data Snacks
Notable food tech startups have emerged in Korea.Life Cycle Nutrition Research Institute Gaonn (hereinafter referred to as Gaonn) with plant-based high-protein snack manufacturing technology challenges the new possibility of optimizing nutritional balance with AI nutrition analysis and solution matching services. CEO Kang Bong-soo, who pioneered the snack king market with fundamental research technology and AI, saw the need for a nutritional balanced approach in Healthy Snacking, a global trend.Health functional pills, which are useful to support modern people's unbalanced diet, did not have the pleasure of chewing as crispy as snacks.He first considered whether it could raise the vegetable protein content in snacks to more than 40% (the world's highest). It was a technology development that made protein chips using ISP and protein patent methods extracted from grains and reduced the protein chips back to high-protein snacks. The study was joined by Choi Hyun, a former director of Ham So-ah Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and eight researchers with master's and doctorate degrees in food and nutrition.Based on this, CEO Kang started to prepare infrastructure for production and distribution of products. For marketing by life cycle, we created three own brands.This is because it is necessary to check the nutritional balance suitable for adults, pregnant women, infants and children separately. Among them, LaBalance, tailored to adults and silver classes, shows the fastest growth rate. Starting with the opening of Olive Young in February this year, it has expanded its offline distribution network to 700 branches in six months. LaBalance Snacks are spreading smoothly throughout Asia as they are well received overseas, which is paying attention to the Korean Wave's inner beauty market.It is in the process of registering distribution through its entry into China, Vietnam, and Thailand, and products are already on offline shelves in Hong Kong. CEO Kang majored in business administration and advertising at university and gained expertise in the medical business field.When he served as an executive in charge of planning strategy for a domestic bio company in 2011, he obtained a patent for an invention of a new technology called 'milk nutrition analysis'. CEO Kang, who was inspired by business and planned a new business strategy here, found a full-fledged connection between nutrition and snacks, paying attention to changes in the boundaries between the pharmaceutical and food industries' markets. Between 2012 and 2013, he applied for a patent in cooperation with faculty members of the College of Health Sciences of Ewha Womans University and laid the foundation for the business by obtaining a database (DB) of mothers. CEO Kang said, "The existing bulk-up and shake-type protein powder consumed for diet purposes were difficult to convert to other materials due to its physical properties. So we developed technology. "We make and serve snacks based on the nutritional balance DB by life cycle," he said. This means that GaonN is not a confectionery company that only considers vegetarianism and protein. CEO's business strategy is bigger and more meticulous. He used the unprecedented high-protein snack manufacturing technology as a weapon to put the wings of an AI engine. Accordingly, in the second half of this year, it is set to launch an AI recommendation-based application (App: Hereinafter, an app) that provides balanced diet solutions by verifying nutritional balance due to users' diet conditions. "GaonN Why pay attention to protein? " Recent vegetarian trends and the successful performance of large sports startups reflect global interest in vegetable protein.While the U.S. and European markets are biased in eating animal protein, Asian countries, where stocks are centered on carbohydrates, are rather negligent in eating protein itself. The low intake of protein from the late 40s to the silver class is notable in Asia, including Korea. Most of the silver layers, where the intake of high-quality protein with high absorption rate is more important, are concerned about poor work or hyperlipidemia. It was considered that they may experience protein deficiency. Adults also consume auxiliary proteins to increase basal metabolism, but female adults from childbearing to breastfeeding are actually encouraged to consume nearly twice as much protein. Focusing on this, I thought that the supply of nutritional protein should be expanded from Asia by analyzing each country's eating habits. "What is your pride as a food tech startup? "It is in the final stage of completing the ""Nutrition Match-Maker"" platform, which allows mothers to verify the nutritional balance of growing children and receive recommended diets. Even those who are aware of the recommended daily intake actually design their own diets that balance excess and scarcity. It is not easy to apply it every day in real life. The Nutrition Matchmaker app contains these realistic concerns. The nutritional analysis of the diet provided by the user determines that the AI engine crawls (a technology included in the index of data collection and search targets). Food ingredients and baby food products for nutritional balance optimization are implemented so that users can choose every morning. In the first half of next year, a service will be conducted to analyze and match the nutritional balance between mothers and children targeting women in breastfeeding from childbearing age. After that, we intend to connect the life cycle of the nutrition sector with an app that diagnoses the nutritional balance of the silver class and provides solutions. All diets are analyzed by AI and provided as customized personalized services." Curious about the platform attraction strategy. We`re going to enter the market with a collaborative strategy. Offline is promoting partnerships mainly with postpartum care centers, daycare centers, and online platforms and insurance companies, and some have signed partnership agreements. For example, we expect to create good synergy in the future by dividing roles into medical and nutritional balance parts with the medical information application "Yeolnayo Dotcom" that mothers are looking for. What was the most difficult experience while conducting business and research? "Finding research points is the most difficult part of consumer perception of health and commercial taste. This is because buzzwords such as "0 calories if it's delicious, sweet and salty" reflect consumer sentiment of eating even though they know it's unhealthy. Therefore, this is why GaonN is proceeding with the launch of a new product that has more market access even though it is a nutritional technology-based company. We want to strengthen the position of the long-tail brand with good products and services and naturally lead to a shift in consumer perception." Tell me about your future vision with GaonN “Snacking does not mean only snack products.Just as the proportion of cereal and protein bars has increased as a substitute for meals, the boundaries between snacks and stocks in the food market are becoming blurred. In the short term, while aggressively conducting investment-cooperation between its own technology and related companies, the platform is judged and provided in real-time by AI based on user's personal helath record (PHR) data, but the accumulated DB is focused on commercialization of personalized services. By 2023, it aims to enter more than one product and service in each household around the world. In addition, the Official Development Assistance Project (ODA), which is still being planned and carried out, is not just a product support, but a goal of technology transfer as a sustainable aid project for the recipient country to increase its self-sustaining power. Since business is not done alone, there are so many grateful people around. I want to say thank you to my wife, five brothers, and everyone around me, who is a twin mother who always trusts and supports me. Also, I would like to ask you to watch Gaonn's future moves in a role that plays a part in society."
