“The future of Naver lies in technology and global market,” said the new female chief of the Korean top Internet company whose appointment requires endorsement from shareholders’ meeting in March in an address to the “Naver Connect 2017.”
Outlining the corporate direction under her helm, Han said the Internet company would devote to development of artificial intelligence, self-driving motor vehicles, and AI-based translation solution.
The company plans to share its platforms to allow smaller companies to grow bigger faster. “TalkTalk” service, an AI-based messenger that connects online vendors with customers, and “Naver Pay,” an online payment application (app) will become open platforms to share and co-prosper with partner companies.
To advance technology division, Naver plans to beef up the share of engineering manpower that already takes up more than 60 percent of the workforce.
The web giant will help promising startups and contents creators to venture overseas through its subsidiary mobile messenger operator Line Corp. and photo and video app Snow. Naver V Live, an online broadcasting service featuring Korean celebrities’ personal videos, will be of service to proliferate Korean contents to overseas.
Naver will also expand its “Project Flower” campaign launched in April designed to support self-employed businesses and individual content creators such as web-cartoon artists to market their products and services online through its platform.
