Acryl (CEO Jin Park), Korea's first AX infrastructure company, announced on the 18th that it received the Deputy Prime Minister's Award for Science and ICT at the "2025 Digital Healthcare Merit Awards and Performance Report" hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT). This award recognizes its contributions to fostering a medical AI ecosystem, including "Doctor Answer," and the industrial expansion of AI technology.
Acryl, a specialized AX infrastructure company, announced on December 18th that it received the Deputy Prime Minister's Award for Science and ICT at the "2025 Digital Healthcare Merit Awards and Performance Report," hosted by the MSIT and organized by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA). This award is an official government award presented to companies and organizations that have contributed to strengthening national competitiveness and industrial development in the fields of science, technology, and information and communications technology.
Acryl was selected as the recipient of the Deputy Prime Minister's Award for its contributions to the practical application and diffusion of AI technology, including digital healthcare, through participation in key government R&D and demonstration projects, including the "Doctor Answer" project for the establishment of a medical AI innovation ecosystem promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the "Korean ARPA-H Project" of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Recently, Acryl has repeatedly received awards, including the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award, the Top 50 R&D Excellence Awards for SMEs, and the iAwards "AI Platform Innovation Award." This recognition demonstrates Acryl's AI technology is not a result of a single project, but rather a holistic, accumulated competitiveness across platforms, R&D, and industrial applications.
In particular, the "50 Best SME R&D Achievements" award recognizes companies that have successfully completed government R&D projects over the past five years, based on their technological achievements and commercialization potential. The "AI Platform Innovation Award" also comprehensively evaluates technological innovation and service competitiveness through expert evaluations. The Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award and this year's Deputy Prime Minister's Award are comprehensive recognitions of these individual achievements, indicating that Acryl's AI technology has reached a level of applicability across policy and industry.
These consecutive awards demonstrate Acryl's positioning as a proven AX infrastructure company, capable of bridging government policy and industry demand, beyond simply possessing technology. With the government announcing plans to expand investment in AI through next year's budget and mid- to long-term national strategies, some analysts believe that companies with already proven technologies and references are more likely to benefit from policy-linked projects and expanded public markets.
The "Doctor Answer" project, which led to this award, is a crucial foundation for this analysis. The success of the "Doctor Answer" project, which requires processing massive amounts of medical data and operating sophisticated AI models, is a technological testament to the efficiency and stability of Acryl's "GPUBase" product, which supports the project. Based on this proven technological reliability in the healthcare sector, Acryl aims to secure a leading position in the AX infrastructure market next year by actively supplying "GPUBase" to public and private markets struggling with AI adoption costs and operational efficiency.
An Acryl representative stated, "This award for contributing to the creation of a medical AI ecosystem demonstrates that Acryl's AX infrastructure technology is effective even in the healthcare sector, which demands the most stringent standards. We plan to fully expand our AX infrastructure business, leveraging the resource efficiency and operational stability of "GPUBase."
