The COMEUP event represents an opportunity for startups and new ventures to highlight their innovations and expertise, playing a pivotal role in combatting the effects of the pandemic socially and financially.

Sophie Kim, CEO of Market Kurly, pointed out that many startups turned the current pandemic crisis into various opportunities. Resolving a society’s problem became the maxim for many startups.

In particular, Market Kurly started as a delivery service in 2015 with customers’ convenience in mind. However, the company shifted its core value to safety aside from convenience during the pandemic. The developer of the Corona map application aimed to help people determine areas affected by COVID 19. Meanwhile, Seegene developed diagnostic test kits in just two weeks.

Healthcare businesses such as Noom and Medicare created applications that assist people with health concerns in their own homes.

Various industries, such as in the education and e-commerce sectors, saw a boom in artificial intelligence to improve content delivery and other online services.
