Selected for NVIDIA Inception global startup program
Jun 10, 2026
MKD Co., Ltd. has been selected for the NVIDIA Inception program, a global initiative dedicated to nurturing leading startups in AI and data science. The selection marks a significant milestone in MKD's journey to supply its proprietary cloud-based enterprise AI platform, Keural, to companies around the world.

The NVIDIA Inception program provides selected startups with cutting-edge GPU infrastructure, the latest technical resources, dedicated engineering support, and access to an extensive global partner network. These resources play a pivotal role in accelerating the research and development of Keural, MKD's subscription-based B2B AI platform. As GPU computing power is the backbone of AI development, this support directly strengthens MKD's ability to train, optimize, and scale its proprietary model architectures.
MKD earned this selection in a highly competitive AI market on the strength of two core technical achievements. The first is KeuralMoE-14B, a fully in-house Korean–English bilingual Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model built without relying on any external base model. The second is an enterprise-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline designed in-house for secure B2B deployments where data privacy and compliance are paramount.
Together, these technologies form the foundation of Keural, MKD's flagship cloud AI platform. Unlike typical AI solutions that depend on external APIs or general-purpose large language models, Keural is built on MKD's own model stack, delivering complete data sovereignty, auditability, and a customizable AI experience to enterprise customers through a subscription-based SaaS model.
Being selected for NVIDIA Inception not only validates MKD's technical capabilities but also opens the door to global commercialization opportunities. By leveraging NVIDIA's worldwide ecosystem of investors, technology partners, and industry collaborators, MKD is well positioned to expand Keural's market beyond Korea into the global enterprise space.
A representative from MKD said, "Being selected for the NVIDIA Inception program is a strong signal that our technology is globally competitive. R&D, partnerships, and our leap toward becoming a world-class B2B AI platform — everything accelerates."
