KT Commerce employees are celebrating the 20th anniversary of its founding.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] KT Commerce held a commemorative event on the 23rd to celebrate its 20th anniversary and declared this year as the inaugural year of its leap forward as a commerce platform business operator.

At the event, KT Commerce CEO Cho Chang-hwan shared a future growth vision to create new business opportunities in the post-COVID new normal environment. In particular, he announced the vision that 2022 will be the first year of advancing as a commerce platform business operator supporting the digital transformation of full-scale business transactions.
