[Financial News] Busan City has selected three promising local companies to lead the blockchain industry.
Busan City announced on the 13th that it had selected DX Works, Bada Platform and Medifun as outstanding companies at the '2026 Busan Blockchain Hub Accelerating Demo Day,' held on the 12th at Wyndham Grand Busan in Seo-gu.
The event is part of a program to support the growth of blockchain companies, run by Busan City and Busan Techno Park. It was organized to strengthen the investment-attraction capabilities of companies based at the Busan Blockchain Hub and expand opportunities to commercialize their businesses by connecting them with investment institutions.
Eight companies based at the Busan Blockchain Hub took part in the demo day, presenting innovative technologies and business models in areas including blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI) and financial technology (FinTech).
Ahead of the event, the participating companies strengthened their business competitiveness through preliminary mentoring and mock investor relations (IR) presentations. After their presentations, they also explored investment and partnership opportunities in one-on-one consultations with investors.
Following an evaluation by a panel of investment experts, the grand prize went to DX Works, which presented TaaS, an intelligent trust platform that verifies digital identities and product and device data.
The top excellence award went to Bada Platform, which developed Saipian Kids, a blockchain-based meal-care service for infants and toddlers. The excellence award went to Medifun, which presented MTT, a trusted-record engine linking on-site verification with recording and validation.
The three winning companies are scheduled to receive their awards and present their business achievements at the '2026 Busan Blockchain Hub Performance Sharing Event,' to be held on the 27th at Avani Central Busan.
Lee Dong-yeop, Busan City’s director of financial startup policy, said, "This demo day provided an opportunity to assess the technological competitiveness and growth potential of local blockchain companies," adding, "We will continue to actively support local companies in attracting investment and commercializing their businesses."
