Enhans Raises Strategic Funding from Naver Ventures to Advance Ontology-Driven Agentic AI Across Industries

Enhans, a Korean enterprise agentic AI startup, has secured strategic investment from Naver Ventures, the Silicon Valley-based corporate venture arm of Naver.

Built on proprietary ontology technology, Enhans has developed an industry-specific AI OS that goes beyond conventional workflow automation, offering a new paradigm for enterprise operations. The platform is already deployed at more than 30 global enterprise clients — including Samsung Electronics — and is actively running operational tasks in over 50 countries.

Having established its core technology in commerce and retail, Enhans has since expanded into manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and most recently, defense. The company gained further industry recognition in March, when — on the 10th anniversary of the AlphaGo match — it staged a multi-agent real-time collaboration demonstration alongside Go grandmaster Sedol Lee, framed as a declaration of the “era of AI collaboration.”

Naver Ventures cited both the long-term potential of the agentic AI market and the synergies Enhans’ technology could unlock within Naver’s business ecosystem. The firm assessed that Enhans’ AI agents have moved well beyond the role of simple assistants, demonstrating the capability to act as autonomous “AI coworkers” that make independent judgments and execute tasks on the ground. The investment also comes at a pivotal moment, as Enhans moves to take its domestically proven technology onto the global stage.

“Enhans has the agentic AI technology to transform operational paradigms across industries — from commerce to defense,” Naver Ventures noted, “We expect Enhans’ agentic AI capabilities to generate strong synergies in advancing the seller-friendly ecosystem that Naver has built.”

“Our goal is for AI to move beyond being a simple tool and establish itself as an ‘AI coworker’ that collaborates organically with humans to deliver real results,” said Seunghyun Lee, CEO of Enhans. “Building on this investment, we will further advance our ontology, multi-agent, and CUA (Computer-Using Agent) technologies to drive an automation revolution across every industry.”
