Thirdworks Secures Follow-On Investment from CNTTech to Accelerate Trade-Specialized AI Platform

Thirdworks, a Korean startup developing AI-powered trade data solutions, has raised follow-on funding from CNTTech. The investment amount was not disclosed.

The Seoul-based company is building Follow-up, an AI platform specifically designed for international trade operations. The solution combines AI-driven global trade regulation analysis with SaaS-based enterprise trade management capabilities. It helps small and medium-sized exporters and importers streamline complex workflows—including market research, contract management, and customs documentation.

Thirdworks is currently participating in the TIPS program operated by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. The company was also selected for a technology transfer commercialization support initiative, advancing both technical development and business expansion simultaneously.

The new capital will be deployed toward recruiting specialized talent for core technology advancement, exploring overseas markets, and scaling global marketing efforts.

“This investment reaffirms confidence in Thirdworks’ technology capabilities and business direction,” said Minji Kim, CEO of Thirdworks. “We will continue enhancing our AI-based services so they can be practically applied in real trade operations.”
