Innocean, led by CEO Kim Jung-a, announced Monday it will partner with venture capital firm SBVA — formerly SoftBank Ventures — to launch a growth platform called "UP 2026" with more than 10 innovative companies that have demonstrated market competitiveness.
UP 2026 is a joint platform designed to drive the growth of innovative companies alongside SBVA while helping Innocean expand its future business foundation by identifying new opportunities beyond its existing areas. The initiative is particularly significant in that it positions Innocean beyond its role as a marketing agency, creating a collaborative space to share growth challenges and explore paths for business expansion with innovative companies.
More than 10 SBVA-backed companies will take part in the program, including Blind, a social platform for office workers; Kream, a limited-edition trading platform; Ohouse, a lifestyle platform; Quniit, a lifestyle platform targeting users in their 40s and 50s; Laundrygo, a mobile laundry service; Rael, a global women's wellness brand; and Gravity Labs, an AI-based healthcare platform.
