Yanolja Co. Ltd., under the visionary leadership of Founder and CEO Sujin Lee, shared its global DNA with promising startups from around the globe.

On February 1st, Yanolja hosted the '2080 Ventures Exploration Program' at its corporate headquarters in Seoul, Korea. The program drew founders and key stakeholders from promising unicorn candidates, including 'Craiyon,' an artificial intelligence design solution firm, 'Anscer Robotics,' a robotics engineering company based in India, and 'Get Outfit,' an artificial intelligence-driven fashion platform.

Throughout the program, Yanolja provided a comprehensive overview of its corporate evolution, its past and present day as a global technology powerhouse, as well as its partnership initiatives with domestic and international startups. Jeff Kim, CEO of Yanolja, laid out his vision for the global travel industry pinned on digital transformation, solutions-based data acquisition, and the integration of generative AI in travel technology.

Reflecting on the event, a Yanolja representative stated, “The program provided a meaningful platform to share Yanolja's global expansion, business capabilities, vision, and mission with innovative startups shaping their respective fields globally.” He added, “Having transitioned from a startup to a leader in the global travel tech sector, we are committed to sharing our success story and serving as a role model for emerging startups in Korea and beyond through various exchange opportunities.”

The program stands as a part of Yanolja's wider efforts to actively engage in ongoing knowledge exchange with global startups. Notably, Yanolja's insights into growth strategies and the development of a global mindset for startups shared during global forums such as Phocuswright, GITEX, Unicorn Summit, WiT, Skift, and the 82 Startup Summit have been well-received within the global startup community.
