TEAC (TIP Ecosystem Acceleration Center) is operating in Korea, the UK, and Germany as part of the TIP (Telecom Infra Project) project, a global alliance established in 2016 by global ICT companies including SK Telecom, Facebook, Intel, and Nokia to innovate next-generation telecommunications infrastructure.

In this call for proposals, SK Telecom will identify promising companies with strengths in 5G, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), and contactless solutions, and provide support such as commercial network testing, global business development, and investment attraction. Additionally, the company plans to introduce the selected companies at the 'TIP Summit 2020,' scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year, and arrange opportunities for collaboration with key TIP companies.

The selection scale is approximately five companies. Companies wishing to participate can apply through SK Telecom's developer support site, 'SK OPEN API'. You also receive recommendations from startup accelerators and venture capital firms.

Meanwhile, SK Telecom has supported six companies through TEAC from 2017 to the present. Optella, an optical communication solution company discovered in 2018, developed an optical engine-based solution during the TEAC program and was acquired by Cosemi Technology of the United States in recognition of its technological capabilities.

Transcelestial, a Singaporean developer of wireless optical communication equipment, has successfully secured commercial product contracts and attracted investment from global telecommunications companies based on the results of verification on SK Telecom's commercial network.
