Kolon Benit said on the 2nd that it will host the "Kolon Benit AX Boost Summit 2026" on Oct. 13 at Seoul Dragon City in Seoul's Yongsan District.

This year's event, themed "Customers' AI Transformation (AX) Journey," is designed to share execution strategies for turning AI adoption into tangible business change and results. Kolon Benit plans to present ways to support customers' successful AX efforts, drawing on business domain knowledge accumulated across various industries, proven technologies and a partner ecosystem that connects optimal solutions.

The morning session opens with remarks from Kolon Benit CEO Kang Yi-gu. Division head Jang Jae-yong will then outline the strategies and direction needed to link AI to actual operations and business performance. Kolon Industries (120110), SK AX, and Seowoo Industrial and Seowoo Advanced Materials will speak during the customer case session. Each company will present approaches to converting AI technology into business results based on its AX rollout and on-the-ground experience.

In the keynote session, KAIST professor Kim Dae-sik will speak on "Literacy and Leadership in the AGI Era." Specialized tracks on data and analytics, AX, and enterprise services will run in the afternoon. Each track will cover technologies and solutions for improving decision-making with data and AI, industry-specific AX execution, and innovation in digital work environments.

"Corporate AX is not simply about adopting new technology but a process of precisely defining business challenges and creating real change and results," Kang said. "We hope this event becomes an occasion for customers to share AX execution experience and insights from various industries and to design a successful AX journey suited to their own environment."
