Kayzer Co., Ltd. received the Minister of SMEs and Startups Award in the AI Technology Innovation category at the “2026 Korea Industry Awards.”

The background to the startup’s win in this category lies in its achievement of demonstrating the potential of a new system that integrates new technologies to reform the structure of the music industry, which had not seen innovation for 60 years. In the existing music industry, artists had to go through many intermediaries, leading to fragmented copyrights and high fees, which made it difficult to generate income from music usage.

Kayzer integrated all contract and settlement procedures into a single platform, eliminating intermediary fees and establishing infrastructure that enables musicians and agencies to conduct business directly. The technological core of the platform is its “music component combination search” engine and a blockchain-based “integrated copyright system.” On this basis, the company won the Grand Prize at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Digital Innovation Contest and a CES Innovation Award, and obtained multiple certifications and patents, including GS (Good Software) 1st Grade.

The company has also consistently sought to expand onto the global stage. By participating in domestic and overseas exhibitions in Las Vegas, Dubai, Ho Chi Minh City and Tokyo, it broadened its reach and completed the foundation of an integrated copyright system that allows both domestic and international artists to operate. CEO Kyeon Du-heon said, “We will build an ecosystem for both music creators and users through AI and blockchain technology.”
