Korea Oracle said on Tuesday it provided Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to four local startups: Neuroflow, Spoit, Yunhoe and ConnexioH.

Korea Oracle said the four startups were selected for MIRACLE, a global corporate collaboration programme run jointly with the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) and Seoul National University of Science and Technology. It said they used OCI to strengthen AI-based technical capabilities and, using Oracle’s global infrastructure, to build a foundation for entering overseas markets.

Sung-ha Kim (김성하), CEO of Korea Oracle, said startups participating in the MIRACLE programme delivered tangible results using OCI as big data and AI-driven market conditions change rapidly. He said this shows Oracle is playing a key role in strengthening the technological competitiveness of local companies. Kim said Oracle will continue to expand the innovation ecosystem with promising AI startups based on high-performance cloud infrastructure and differentiated technical capabilities.

Neuroflow, which operates Neuroboard, an RAG-based intelligent work support platform, needed higher inference performance as its data processing volume surged while expanding customers to education institutions and industrial companies. It adopted OCI because its AI solution, which combines RAG-based search with LLMs to provide responses based on reliable sources, requires a cloud-based AI/ML platform with scalability and stability.

Jong-min Lee (이종민), CEO of Neuroflow, said the company built data centres for each institution based on OCI’s high-performance RAG cluster and scalable data management technology. He said it established an operating foundation capable of processing millions of documents and data. Lee said it also plans to accelerate entry into global markets through collaboration with Oracle.

Spoit provides sports AI video services such as data-based power analysis and automatic clip creation. As customer demand rose quickly, it faced challenges in securing large-scale computing resources to expand services, cutting AI experiment costs and improving development efficiency based on MLOps. It adopted OCI Bare Metal Instances for large-scale inference computing.

Won-jun Jang (장원준), head of Spoit’s research lab, said adopting OCI, with GPU instances, large-capacity storage and a stable network, played a decisive role in streamlining R&D and securing a foundation for entry into global markets. He said the company will continue to invest in high-performance GPU model research, aiming to develop an AI-based sports intelligence platform and advance SaaS capabilities that enable B2B and B2C expansion.

Yunhoe, which operates the AI-based circular fashion platform Care ID (CARE ID), needed to strengthen overall platform responsiveness, scalability and availability ahead of global expansion. It switched to OCI and adopted OCI Container Registry (OCIR) and OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE).

Himchan Roh (노힘찬), CEO of Yunhoe, said OCI’s cost efficiency, Kubernetes-based operations tools and flexible compatibility allowed the company to provide low-latency services in a global environment while keeping operating costs stable. He said these strengths increased reliability in service environments that require compliance with global regulations and standards such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP), and secured capacity for continued investment in AI model development, accelerating its global expansion strategy.

Fintech services company ConnexioH uses e-commerce databases and AI to visualise business performance for small merchants and increase access to finance based on the results. The company adopted OCI Bare Metal Instances and Oracle Autonomous AI Database to advance cloud-based LLM services and provide tailored insights through analysis of large-scale e-commerce data.

Hyun-sik Yoon (윤현식), COO of ConnexioH, said the company used Oracle’s cloud infrastructure and AI technology to build a foundation for LLM service development and also secured a foothold for entry into global markets. He said it will continue to cooperate with Oracle to grow into a leader in the global e-commerce data analysis market.

Jong-pil Yoo (유종필), head of KISED, said he was pleased that cooperation with Oracle through the MIRACLE programme enabled promising local startups to secure world-class technological competitiveness and expand global investment and business opportunities. He said KISED will continue to provide support so capable startups can work with global technology leaders to drive global innovation and enter overseas markets.
