Both entities noted that enterprise adoption of blockchain technology requires practical use cases that address concrete industry challenges alongside technical capabilities.
Focus on trade finance and tokenisation
The partnership will draw on the respective networks of both companies to identify opportunities for corporate clients.
Key initiatives include exploring solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency and data reliability in business-to-business transactions. These efforts will focus on trade finance and supply chain management.
The companies will also assess the potential of tokenisation technologies. They will examine support models for cross-border business collaboration between the Japanese and South Korean markets.
