Canton Foundation and LG CNS have formed a partnership to advance institutional adoption of the Canton Network in Korea and support the development of the technical ecosystem required for institutions to build and deploy on Canton Network.
Under the partnership, Canton Foundation and LG CNS will jointly pursue institutional opportunities in Korea, develop technical capabilities to support Canton implementations, and contribute to the development of a broader technical partner ecosystem for Canton Network.
The collaboration brings together LG CNS’s enterprise technology and implementation expertise and relationships across Korea’s financial sector with Canton’s growing global ecosystem of financial institutions, technology providers, and market participants.
Hongkeun Kim, executive vice president and head of Digital Business Division at LG CNS, says: “Financial institutions are increasingly moving from exploring blockchain technology toward practical implementation.
“Through our partnership with Canton Foundation, we look forward to combining LG CNS’s technology and implementation capabilities with the Canton ecosystem to develop meaningful opportunities with institutions in Korea.
“We also look forward to contributing our experience to the development of a broader technical partner ecosystem that can support institutional adoption over the long term.”
Thomas Chou, head of APAC at Canton Foundation, adds: “Korea is a critical market for institutional adoption of Canton in Asia. This partnership is about building the market together, combining Canton’s growing institutional ecosystem with LG CNS’s deep technology capabilities and relationships across the Korean financial sector.
“Together, we aim to help institutions move from identifying opportunities to implementation, while building the broader technical ecosystem needed to support adoption at scale.”
