The Korea Society is honored to announce the return of the 2026 Startup Scene annual forum, “Startups in Focus: AI Powering the Way We Live.” This year, the annual forum brings together founders, investors, and technology leaders shaping the next chapter of applied artificial intelligence, examining how AI is transforming the way we live, work, create, and make decisions across sectors. Featuring thematic panels on AI’s expanding role in human-machine interaction, creative economies, financial infrastructure, and everyday consumer and knowledge tools, “Startups in Focus: AI Powering the Way We Live” will spotlight the US-Korea startup corridor and the builders turning emerging technologies into real-world impact. This program is exclusively supported by Hanwha Life. Visit our website for more information on panel speakers and agenda. [With the ethos of celebrating startup innovation, The Korea Society is excited to partner with Umoh to create an event platform facilitating seamless registration and networking.
