Seoul Labs, a startup focused on blockchain infrastructure and digital finance technology, took part in Seoul Fintech Week 2026, holding an investor relations (IR) presentation and consulting sessions with major financial firms to significantly expand opportunities for collaboration. At the event, Seoul Labs explored potential business partnerships and investment with five leading South Korean financial institutions, including KB Financial Group and Shinhan Venture Investment, setting its sights on collaboration with the financial sector.
First launched in 2006 as the Seoul International Finance Conference, the event marked its 20th anniversary this year. Co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Financial Supervisory Service and Shinhan Financial Group, it ran from the 26th to the 28th at Conrad Seoul in Yeouido. Under the theme “The Transformation of Digital Finance Powered by AX: Finance That Knows Me,” the event featured a range of sessions, including a demo day and recruitment programs.
Returning for a second consecutive year, Seoul Labs ran a promotional booth at the event, drawing attention from industry professionals. The company also conducted job-linked interviews with candidates matched in advance through the fintech recruitment zone, actively seeking to attract top talent.
Seoul Labs was the second company to present at the “Second Seoul Fintech Lab Demo Day with Naver Cloud” session, where it gave a detailed overview of its core business models and technological strengths. The presentation focused on the potential applications of its technology in finance and its strategy for rapid growth as a startup.
Immediately after the presentation, the company held a series of one-on-one consultations with major financial firms. Starting at 2 p.m. with KB Financial Group, Seoul Labs met in turn with representatives from Woori Financial Group, Hana Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea and Shinhan Venture Investment. It demonstrated its technology and held in-depth discussions on specific opportunities for business partnerships and collaboration.
