Kintex, the Korean exhibition and convention center operator, has received the grand prize (daesang) at the AI Safety Management Awards, marking the first time a company in the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) industry has taken the award's top honor.
The AI Safety Management Awards recognize organizations for achievements in the safe and responsible management of artificial intelligence. Kintex's grand prize win is the first for the MICE industry, according to the facts established around the claim.
The award places Kintex among the early group of Korean organizations formally acknowledged for AI safety management practices, extending such recognition into the exhibition and convention sector, which has not previously been represented among the top honorees.
Korea's AI industry spans a wide range of players, from semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to platform and internet firms including Naver and Kakao. Safety management awards of this kind add an institutional layer to that ecosystem by highlighting organizations applying AI in ways that meet safety standards.
For Kintex, the award signals that AI adoption and safety management are being evaluated not only in technology manufacturing and services but also in venue and event operations.
The claim stands as true.
