AJ2 Co. Ltd.
Startup Other
- AJ2 Co., Ltd. was founded on March 25, 2022, but the CEO has been developing iris recognition solutions for over 24 years. AJ2 is now proud that iris recognition technology has reached a top level, and full-scale product sales began in 2024.
Iris recognition stands out among biometric technologies because every iris is unique and it is very hard to fake or change. This means it offers a high level of security.
However, in the past, iris recognition has faced a number of adoption challenges:
• Users had to move their heads, which weigh about 10% of their body weight, to align their eyes with the scanner.
• It required high-cost hardware and algorithms.
• It was sensitive to external lighting conditions and often worked slowly at close range.
Despite these challenges, AJ2 has overcome the limitations with advanced hardware and software. Now, iris recognition is practical and is ready for commercial use.
AJ2’s unique core technology lies in the self-developed optical components — specifically, the camera module and infrared LED, which account for more than 70% of the performance and cost of the iris recognition system.
By integrating these optical components with open-source AI, AJ2 has developed its own ensemble iris recognition solution technology that effectively addresses the challenges faced by conventional iris recognition systems. Building on this technology, AJ2 has also developed an AI Iris Recognition Algorithm using CNN deep learning.

As a result, AJ2's products can recognize a user’s iris and face quickly from 1 meter away, even if the user is wearing glasses. This gives AJ2 an edge over competitors. The system is convenient, accurate, and cost-effective.
Incredibly, AJ2's solution can even detect a user's iris and face from 3 meters away, something that was considered impossible before.

BOK corporation
Broadcasting Startup Immersive Content
- The paradigm of video content is undergoing a dramatic transformation. AI's influence is expanding exponentially across all sectors, from advertising to films and short-form content. While generative AI has enabled anyone to create videos and images, we're simultaneously witnessing a widening gap in content quality.
As technology advances, higher-quality content will continue to emerge, and advertisers will need to either create content themselves or find suitable creators. However, the traditional agency-centered production model struggles to meet the demands of the AI era—simpler processes and mass content supply. Meanwhile, creators face the reality that current revenue streams from subscriptions and advertising alone are insufficient to sustain their work.
To address these challenges, we have developed "PUPA STAGE", a contest-based AI video content distribution platform.
Poopa Stage delivers value through a mass advertising content supply model:
For advertisers, it offers the opportunity to secure large volumes of high-quality content at reasonable costs. For creators, it provides not only direct revenue through content delivery fees and prize money, but also sustainable income models through fan management and systematic channel operations.
Through this approach, we aim to create a virtuous cycle structure for the new AI video content ecosystem.
