Fincantieri, as part of the Open Innovation Plan launched last year, announced the opening of its innovation Antenna (Research and Development Center) in South Korea with the operational support of Mind the Bridge. The announcement was made official today on the occasion of the Scaleup Summit Soul 2025, co-organized with Mind the Bridge.
After the launch of the first Innovation Antenna in Silicon Valley last October, Fincantieri identified a new strategic hub for global innovation in South Korea, especially in the naval shipbuilding, automation and robotic sectors. The antenna will facilitate direct connections with the local ecosystem, involving startups, research centers and industrial actors.
South Korea is one of the world innovative ecosystems that in recent years has shown the fastest growth, as well as being a leading country in global naval shipbuilding, underlines Fincantieri, and the country could overcome Japan and position itself as the main third innovation Hub Asia after China and India. South Korea records a high density of scaleup (innovative companies) that is 4.1 per 100 thousand inhabitants and invests 2.7% of GDP in Scaleup – one of the highest values in the world.
