The program was split into three sessions: AI Companion, Longevity, and AI Native Companies.

Reliable results over features
In the AI Native Companies session, Kakao Ventures discussed "neofirms" — companies where AI and experts directly complete client work — citing US AI law firms as examples. Kim Min-ju, a partner at Storm Ventures, argued that corporate competitiveness in the AI era depends on producing reliable work results rather than software features.
