KIAT AX (AI Transformation) Sprint Track
Connects mid-size Korean manufacturers and suppliers with artificial intelligence companies to accelerate AI adoption in production.
The AX (AI Transformation) Sprint Track is a fast-track financing programme coordinated between MSIT and MOTIE, with KIAT as the MOTIE-side implementing agency. It is designed to accelerate AI adoption beyond the large chaebol conglomerates to mid-sized manufacturers and suppliers that form the backbone of Korea's industrial base but lack in-house AI expertise. Funded use cases include AI-driven defect detection in semiconductor fabrication, machine-learning-optimised process control in petrochemical plants, and digital-twin systems for automotive assembly lines. Projects typically run as industry-led consortia where manufacturers partner with AI companies, university research groups, and government-funded research institutes.
