Hancom said on the 24th that it completed an official corporate name change from HANCOM to Hancom (HANCOM) for the first time in 36 years and finished changing its stock name.

Hancom said the change of corporate and stock names is intended to strengthen its identity as a company centered on artificial intelligence (AI) by replacing the name HANCOM it has used since its founding in 1989.

Hancom also said the share of AI in its overall results is expanding. Last year's standalone revenue was 175.3 billion won, a record high, and AI package revenue was 8.9 billion won, accounting for 5% of the total.

In particular, 54.6% of the 16.2 billion won increase in revenue last year came from the AI business. First-quarter standalone revenue this year was 46.5 billion won, and the AI revenue share rose to 11.21% from 0.04% a year earlier.

In addition, Hancom said version 2.0 of its unstructured data assetization solution "Open Data Loader (ODL)" ranked No. 1 in four categories in a global benchmark and achieved 90% overall accuracy, proving its competitiveness in the global market. In the second half, it plans to strengthen corporate competitiveness by unveiling "Agentic OS," which can centrally manage a variety of AI agents.

Hancom is also targeting the "Sovereign Agentic OS" market, specialized for sensitive data industries such as the public sector, defense, and finance. It plans to flesh out its roadmap for entry into Europe and expand globally through cooperation with local corporations.

Hancom CEO Kim Yeon-su said, "The changes to the corporate and stock names are an opportunity to clearly show the capital market the AI transition we have already achieved," adding, "We will challenge global standards based on the technology and trust we have built over 36 years."
