For South Korea, the sources detail several initiatives to bolster AI adoption and startup growth, particularly for SMEs and startups in sectors like defense, manufacturing, and computing. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups is supporting the creation and growth of AI-driven defense startups through measures integrating advanced technologies into weapons systems [1]. Broader efforts include accelerating AI adoption in manufacturing factories, establishing a national AI computing center by late 2026 to strengthen national AI capabilities [4][9][10], and creating fast-track programs for IP reviews and market entry for AI technologies [6][11]. However, the sources do not mention specific vouchers for compute, technology, or other activities to aid SME adoption.
