Problem

With Hyundai's $6.75B (9T KRW) investment creating a robotics, AI, and hydrogen hub in Saemangeum, Tier 1 suppliers (Hyundai Robotics, Hyundai Mobis, etc.) will issue large-scale subcontracts. However, Tier 2 and Tier 3 small manufacturers in the Jeonbuk region (5-30 employees) struggle to learn which Tier 1 suppliers are ordering which components. Currently relying on personal networks, they miss over 60% of bidding opportunities.

Solution

The system automatically collects Saemangeum-related procurement information from Hyundai Group supplier portals, government procurement sites, and Jeonbuk provincial investment announcements, then matches them to company profiles (industry, available equipment, certifications) to deliver tailored bid alerts. When required certifications (ISO, IATF) are missing, it provides acquisition guidance.

Target: Tier 2 and Tier 3 manufacturing subcontractors with 5-30 employees based in Jeonbuk and Chungnam regions — metal, plastics, and electronic component processors
