The Financial Services Commission and the Korea Fintech Support Center said on the 19th they will recruit participants for the "first-half 2026 D-testbed" for four weeks from the 20th to Feb. 15.
The D-testbed program supports Fintech corporations and prospective founders so the Fintech Support Center can verify innovative ideas. It comprehensively provides combined financial and nonfinancial data, a remote data analysis environment, mentoring by experts in each field, and feasibility assessment opinions.
This year, as demand for developing financial services using generative artificial intelligence (AI) and data is rising rapidly, a new "GPU support track" was created to provide a high-performance AI computing environment. It will also support high-performance GPUs so participating corporations can develop new AI models using their own data.
In the first half of this year, the D-testbed will select about 25 participants. It will run in two categories: a test track and a GPU support track. The test track operates by verifying ideas in an isolated remote analysis environment using combined financial and nonfinancial data and public data provided by the Fintech Support Center, along with the provided analysis environment.
Those wishing to participate can apply online through the D-testbed website.
