Graduates of Google's startup support program "Changgu" were invited to "Google I/O 2026" in the United States to network with global developers.
Google said on the 27th that it invited 10 Changgu graduate startups to the annual developer conference "Google I/O 2026," held May 19–20 (local time) in Mountain View, California, and held an "I/O field trip."
Changgu is a domestic mobile app and game startup support program jointly run by Google Play, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development (KISED). This is the first time graduate corporations have been invited to I/O since the program began.
The participating corporations are: △ Teuida, developer of the foreign-language conversation app "Teuida" △ PeterPeter, developer of the pet healthcare app "PeterPeter" △ BlueSignum, developer of the diary app "Harukong" and the mental health management app "Moody" △ Clebrain, developer of the sheet music recognition AI app "PianoKeywiz" △ CountdownAI, developer of the Generative AI-based apps "MIU" and "Flumic" △ ArtizenSpace, developer of the AI-based XR solution "Weft" △ TeamLimited, developer of the commerce AI platform "Younggle" △ PlanFit, developer of the AI fitness app "Planfit" △ Sling, developer of the AI Edtech app "Orzo" △ Wrtn, developer of the Generative AI service "Wrtn."
During I/O, the participating corporations attended keynotes, workshops, and panel sessions where technologies and products such as Gemini, Android XR, Chrome, and Google Cloud were introduced. They also met with Google and Google DeepMind officials to share the latest technologies and insights.
In addition, Justin Payne, head of product management for Android XR, used a separate session to introduce how Korean startups can pursue new opportunities within intelligent eyewear and the XR ecosystem.
Yoon Goo, president of Google Korea, said, "This I/O field trip is more meaningful in that it continues to support the growth of domestic app and game developers even after graduating from Changgu," and added, "We will continue to support promising domestic startups through the Changgu program so they can strengthen their competitiveness in the global market and present innovative products and services to more users."
