Korean venture capital firms are increasingly shifting their investments from artificial intelligence to the energy and defense sectors, a trend known as 'Korean dynamism.' This movement aligns with similar trends in the U.S., focusing on enhancing national competitiveness, as exemplified by startups like Greenda, which converts waste cooking oil into sustainable aviation fuel, and Newtype Industries, which develops AI-based defense software. These initiatives aim to bolster Korea's long-term technological sovereignty and competitiveness.
