We are thrilled to announce that Kieng has been selected among the top 30 startups in Shinhan Bank's prestigious Innoboost program, one of South Korea's most competitive fintech acceleration initiatives. This achievement represents a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize financial services through cutting-edge AI technology.

About Shinhan Bank's Innoboost Program

Shinhan Bank's Innoboost program is a highly selective acceleration initiative that identifies and nurtures the most promising fintech startups across Asia. The program focuses on innovations that can transform traditional banking and financial services, with particular emphasis on AI, blockchain, and digital transformation technologies.

Out of hundreds of applications from across the region, only 30 startups were selected based on their technological innovation, market potential, and ability to address real challenges in the financial sector. The selection process involved multiple rounds of rigorous evaluation, including technical assessments, business model validation, and live demonstrations.

Our Revolutionary AI Voice Assistant Technology

Kieng's selection was based on our groundbreaking AI voice assistant technology that transforms traditional phone-based customer service systems. Our solution enables real-time, natural voice conversations between customers and AI systems, providing:

• Natural Language Processing: Advanced Vietnamese and multilingual conversation capabilities
• Real-time Response: Instant, contextually aware responses to customer inquiries
• Seamless Integration: Easy deployment into existing banking infrastructure
• 24/7 Availability: Round-the-clock customer service without human intervention
• Cost Efficiency: Significant reduction in operational costs while improving service quality

The Pitch Process and Technical Demonstration

During the intensive selection process, our team presented a comprehensive demonstration of our AI voice technology to a panel of Shinhan Bank executives, technology experts, and industry veterans. The presentation showcased real-world scenarios where our AI assistant handled complex banking inquiries, from account balance checks to loan application guidance.

The judges were particularly impressed by our system's ability to understand context, handle interruptions naturally, and provide accurate, helpful responses in multiple languages. Our technology's potential to reduce call center costs by up to 60% while improving customer satisfaction scores resonated strongly with the evaluation committee.

Looking Forward: Collaboration and Innovation

Being selected for the Innoboost program opens up exciting opportunities for collaboration with Shinhan Bank and access to their extensive network of financial institutions across Asia. We look forward to working closely with Shinhan's innovation team to pilot our technology in real banking environments and gather valuable feedback for further development.

This recognition validates our vision of making AI-powered voice technology accessible and practical for financial institutions of all sizes. We are committed to continuing our innovation journey and delivering solutions that truly transform how banks interact with their customers.
