Venture certification based on Artnex’s original BM and tech patents.

AI-based brand marketing solution company SUGOLAB has obtained venture company certification, officially recognizing its technological competitiveness.

The significance of this certification lies not only in the fact that it is not a simple AI marketing automation, but also that it establishes a startup ecosystem based on AI technology specialized for the manufacturing environment and business model and technical patents, while addressing long-standing issues such as youth entrepreneurship, employment, and social jobs.

Differentiation of Patent Technology

The patents recognized in the venture company certification are:▲ AI marketing automation method and system based on voice interface▲ AI-driven marketing strategy derivation process education and consulting BM patent

Many domestic and international marketing companies emphasize being “first” or “innovative” by highlighting AI trends, but AI agent technologies capable of understanding customer intent have existed since 2011 and the market has continued to grow.

SUGOLAB emphasizes technological differentiation by innovating a startup ecosystem specialized for manufacturing through its proprietary AI solutions.

Strengths of SUGOLAB’s Proprietary AI Solution, ARTNEX

SUGOLAB’s core technology, its proprietary AI solution ARTNEX, automates the entire process—from branding strategy, content creation, advertising execution, performance analysis, to customer service—beyond simple product analysis.

While existing smart manufacturing AI has focused on automating distribution and service processes, SUGOLAB has, for the first time, concretely implemented patented technology in which a single AI agent manages “manufacturing–brand–marketing” by reflecting the actual production structure, process characteristics, and product-specific demand data of manufacturing-based companies.

Demonstration Projects and Ecosystem Development

In the “Smart AI Marketing Manager Demonstration Project”, jointly promoted with Seoul Technopark, SUGOLAB has established an AI diagnostic engine, an automated content generation system, and a real-time marketing performance analysis framework. In parallel, it is developing a SaaS-based export solution aimed at expanding global channels for small manufacturing businesses.

To build a smart manufacturing startup ecosystem within Gyeonggi Technopark, SUGOLAB is also formalizing an AI education and consulting business model. This core business model, covered by business model patents, goes beyond diagnosing AI tailored to manufacturing sites and providing AI-based marketing consultation—it connects directly to practical operations.

Global Market Expansion Strategy

The ARTNEX AI solution automates all stages of the branding process that were previously most inefficient—diagnosis, content production, advertising execution, performance reporting, and customer service—significantly reducing time and cost.

Currently, based on its proprietary technology, SUGOLAB is preparing for a global leap by developing an English-based multilingual SaaS version to support the global marketing and expansion most challenging for small manufacturers. The stepwise goals toward 2026 include:▲ Advancement of AI-based marketing app services▲ Improvement of ARTNEX AI learning model accuracy▲ Manufacturing company–customized AI templates

CEO Minju Cha stated, “The competitive advantage lies not in simply predicting customer interests, but in building a system connected to manufacturing production structures that leads to actual sales.” She added, “Based on venture company certification and patent acquisition, we aim to establish a global standard for Korean-style manufacturing AI marketing solutions.”
