Artificial Intelligence
AI attempts to replicate human intelligence in a computer or machine with faster speed and greater accuracy.
We believe AI is the most powerful tool that organizations can use to make informed decisions, drive revenue, attract new customers and optimize costs of business operations through improved efficiency. It excels in all of our focus industries: E-commerce, edtech, and fintech.

Big Data
The big data is larger, more complex data sets. The data sets can be so voluminous that traditional data processing software can’t manage them.
Big data often comes from new data sources or with added complexities not seen before. There were many significant applications of big data throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and managing these massive volumes of data helped innovators and leaders address problems they wouldn’t have been able to tackle before. Big data plays a critical role in innovations in E-commerce, edtech, and fintech.

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing supports on-demand access to data and information via the internet, providing seamless connectivity and flexibility.
Cloud technology essentially makes every other technology lighter, faster, more secure, and more accessible, and this fact will be a key driver in the migration of more services to cloud platforms. In essence, the cloud allows organizations to innovate faster and cloud computing continues to gain traction across all of KungHo Fund’s focus industries.
