"Co-prosperity with partners is an important factor in strengthening the company's essence."

This is what KT CEO Park Yoon-young emphasized at the "11th KT Partners Day 2026" held at Sofitel Ambassador Grand Ballroom in Seoul on the 14th. Partners Day is an event designed to share business directions with partners and check the foundation for cooperation, attended by Lim Dong-yeon, Chairman of the Partners Council, Lee Jae-sik, Central Chairman of the Information and Communication Corporation, and Lee Dal-gon, Chairman of the Shared Growth Committee.

KT has declared that it will move away from the price-oriented competition structure and shift to a quality and technology-oriented competition system this year, suggesting the direction of cooperation as essence, growth, and win-win. For quality partners, incentives such as preferential allocation of supplies and promotion of multi-year contracts will be expanded, and security standards for the entire process of equipment introduction, operation, and disposal will be strengthened to increase purchase quality and stability.

It will also promote commercialization support using its own resources and public-private joint resources. It plans to expand the start-up space around the "Pangyo Open Innovation Center" and strengthen growth support for small and medium-sized venture companies by linking investment attraction.

It also shared win-win measures to respond to supply chain risks. It plans to apply payment linkage standards that reflect fluctuations in exchange rates and raw material prices, and to secure advance supplies of major materials by upgrading demand forecasts and realizing unit prices. We will continue to provide support for management stability of partner companies by expanding the target of support for win-win cooperation funds to partner companies of group companies.

Awards were also held for partners who produced excellent results. A total of 32 companies won the Excellence Cooperation Award in three fields: AI, IT, telecommunications, and group company cooperation.

Kwon Hye-jin, head of SCM, said, "We will further strengthen the cooperation system focusing on quality, security, and safety. We will do our best to grow together by combining each other's strengths based on trust with our partners."
