As companies begin to fully adopt artificial intelligence (AI), Databricks, a data and AI platform company, is continuing its rapid growth in the Korean market.

Databricks held an offline event, 'AI Days Seoul,' in Seoul on the 1st and announced that its domestic business grew more than twofold compared to the previous year based on the last fiscal year.

This achievement is due to the surge in demand for AI-based data utilization across various industries, including finance, telecommunications, manufacturing, and platforms.

Databricks is currently expanding its market reach by securing major domestic companies as clients, including Samsung Life Insurance, LG Uplus, NH Investment & Securities, LG Innotek, KakaoPay Securities, and Kakao Style.

Databricks also unveiled long-term investment plans for the Korean market.

As the government promotes the strengthening of national AI competitiveness centered on the digital strategy and the AI Framework Act, Databricks has set a goal to train 10,000 data and AI professionals over the next three years through education programs and industry partnerships.

Global performance is also continuing its growth trend.
