※ The number of finalists and final selected companies may change during the evaluation and selection process, as each financial affiliate independently selects its candidates.

They collaborate with financial companies' business departments during the solution and business model development stage to receive feedback and work together.

For finalist and selected companies, support will be provided for business commercialization, investment review through strategic funds, and further collaboration on follow-up projects.

The results will be announced in mid-May via a notice on the website and an email sent to the address provided during application.

※ The announcement schedule is subject to change due to internal circumstances. Any updates will be posted on the website.

Finalists are selected through document screening and presentation evaluation:

ㅇ Document Screening: Each financial affiliate evaluates applications based on its own selection criteria to shortlist candidates.

ㅇ Presentation Evaluation: Companies that pass the document screening will proceed to this stage, where their technology, originality, and commitment to collaboration will be assessed.

※ Shortlisted companies will be notified of the presentation evaluation schedule.

Evaluation Criteria

※ Evaluation and selection methods may change depending on circumstances. The evaluation results will not be disclosed.

The final presentation is scheduled to take place in late October at the Samsung Financial Campus in Seocho, Seoul.
