Additionally, the logistics infrastructure will be strengthened through the formation of a truck fund.
Background and Purpose of the Fundraising
AI Storm has been laying a robust foundation by diversifying its business focus from IT consulting to sectors like digital signage and BPO. The company reported record sales and profits by the fiscal year ending December 2024. Utilising this momentum, AI Storm aims to expand its business operations under the theme of 'DX×AI×Infrastructure' into broader areas.
The current funding is targeted toward seizing opportunities within the rapidly growing LED signage market and addressing social challenges such as the shortage of AI professionals by establishing an AI school. Furthermore, the company plans to apply AI technologies in health and sleep sectors while entering the next-generation telecommunication infrastructure market, specifically focusing on Wi-Fi 7.
Moreover, AI Storm is committed to enhancing logistics infrastructure by engaging in the truck fund business, thus contributing positively to societal needs.
Vision for the Future
AI Storm holds the mission of 'solving social challenges through technology and supporting the future of individuals and businesses.' It is poised to embark on its next growth stage, focusing not only on its existing operations but also on cultivating next-generation AI talent through its AI education initiative, Storm Academy. By harnessing AI technology for wellness and health applications, and promoting digital infrastructure through Wi-Fi 7 and logistics support, AI Storm aims for remarkable sales and profit growth by 2028.
The company will also pursue proactive M&A and capital partnerships to expand its business domain and strengthen its management foundation. In the medium to long term, it seeks to stabilize cash flow generation and enrich its dividend policy to enhance shareholder returns.
