Bio data fragmentation
Seoul Economic Daily reported today (September 22) that despite massive public investment — 3.9 trillion won on bio data projects last year — the overwhelming share of that spending went to data collection and storage rather than processing. The result is hundreds of disconnected "data islands" that cannot be integrated or utilized at scale, undermining the data foundation Korea's bio-AI ambitions depend on
KRX Healthcare index overhaul
ChosunBiz reported on September 20 that the KRX Healthcare index is shifting toward large caps as Korean investors favor next-tech biomedicine. The overhaul trims the index roster and spotlights next-generation drug, AI, and medical device plays — a sign that established, scaled biopharma companies are displacing smaller speculative names at the center of Korea's healthcare investing narrative
