A Look at Agentic AI Infrastructure at AI EXPO KOREA 2026

QUANTUM C&S participated in AI EXPO KOREA 2026, held at COEX in Seoul from May 6 to 8.
Under the theme “An Era Where AI Develops and Operates AI,” this year’s exhibition showcased an AI infrastructure operating environment centered on KosmosAI, as well as the collaborative AI service IKIN.
Over the three days of the event, we met with representatives from various companies and organizations at our booth and heard firsthand about the AI technologies needed in real-world settings—ranging from AI infrastructure operation automation to closed-network AI, RAG, and business workflows.
To allow visitors to see and experience AI infrastructure firsthand,
our primary focus at this exhibition was not merely to explain QUANTUM C&S’s technology, but to demonstrate how actual AI infrastructure is built and operated.
KosmosAI connects SAMANDA (which manages AI operations), ORKESTRIX (a Kubernetes-based AI infrastructure platform), and AkashiQ (an AI data hub) to integrate AI infrastructure, data, and the operational environment into a single workflow.
At the exhibition, we demonstrated a real-world operational environment centered on ORKESTRIX and SAMANDA.
The ORKESTRIX interface allowed users to view the status, resource usage, workloads, and monitoring information of multiple Kubernetes clusters all in one place.
By integrating SAMANDA, we also demonstrated how AI assesses the current state of the infrastructure and analyzes issues, eliminating the need for operators to manually check multiple dashboards and logs one by one.
Many visitors expressed interest in how AI can be integrated into complex Kubernetes operational environments.
What does “AI operating AI” look like?
One of the key messages QUANTUM C&S wanted to convey at this exhibition was “AI operates AI.”
As the number of AI services increases and the infrastructure running them becomes more complex, the scope of tasks that operators must personally verify and assess also expands.
The SAMANDA demo illustrated a workflow in which AI checks the infrastructure’s status and monitoring data, analyzes anomalies, and determines a course of action.
In particular, there was sustained interest in the fact that this AI-based operational approach can be applied even in closed-network or air-gapped environments where access to external clouds or the internet is restricted.
We were able to reaffirm on-site that, in sectors where security and stability are critical—such as the public sector, manufacturing, and research—not only is the adoption of AI important, but how to operate that AI reliably has also become a major challenge.
IKIN, Unveiled for the First Time
At this AI EXPO, we also unveiled our new AI service, IKIN, for the first time.
IKIN is a collaborative AI service that connects a company’s documents and knowledge with AI, enabling users to find necessary information and even integrate it into actual workflows.
At the event, there were particularly many inquiries regarding RAG-based search and question-answering using large-scale internal documents.
Although companies accumulate a wealth of information internally—such as operational manuals, technical documents, regulations, and reports—it often takes considerable time to locate and utilize the necessary content in actual work.
Questions regarding practical implementation also followed, such as what tasks could be automated by connecting these materials to AI and whether internal data could be safely utilized even within closed networks.
Another meaningful aspect of this exhibition was the opportunity to directly discuss with visitors how AI can be utilized in various environments, such as the public sector, education, research, and manufacturing.
Diverse Conversations at the Booth
In addition to product demonstrations, we held events such as surveys and lucky draws that allowed visitors to participate directly.
Although time was limited, many visitors took the opportunity to examine and experience the products firsthand, ask questions, and discuss the challenges their organizations are currently facing regarding AI adoption.
During the exhibition, we also participated in live on-site interviews to share QUANTUM C&S’s vision for the future of AI infrastructure and our Agentic AI-based platform.

Wrap-up
Through this year’s AI EXPO KOREA 2026, we confirmed that interest in AI technology is rapidly expanding beyond the simple application of generative AI to focus on how AI can be integrated into corporate data, infrastructure, and actual work environments.
In particular, the questions we frequently heard on-site included:
“Can we use AI without sending our data outside the company?” “Can we further automate the operation of our AI
infrastructure?” “How can we integrate internal corporate
documents and workflows with AI?”
—all of which pertained to practical implementation and operations.
QUANTUM C&S also believes that, rather than focusing solely on AI models themselves, creating an environment where AI can operate stably within a company’s infrastructure, data, and workflows will become increasingly important in the future.
Moving forward, we will continue to share through QUANTUM Inside how QUANTUM C&S technologies—including KosmosAI and IKIN—are being utilized in real-world settings, as well as stories from our encounters across various industries.
We would like to thank everyone who visited the QUANTUM C&S booth at AI EXPO KOREA 2026.
