South Korea is steering its AI strategy toward “Physical AI,” backing robotics, smart manufacturing, and embodied agents with coordinated industrial policy. Non-Korean speakers face an information blackout on patents, research, and grants, so Fulcrum offers translated, structured intelligence to help foreign investors and companies spot trends and act fast.

• South Korea is redirecting its AI strategy and government funding toward "Physical AI" (robotics, smart manufacturing, embodied agents) rather than pure software.
• Nearly all relevant patents, research, and grant filings are only in Korean, and machine translation fails to capture technical/legal nuance, leaving foreign investors effectively locked out.
• Fulcrum scrapes and translates these Korean sources into structured, searchable dashboards, priced at $49/month for individuals, $249/month for teams, plus an enterprise API.
• Its accumulating translated archive functions as a proprietary dataset that would be hard for competitors to replicate, built on a lean stack (Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Scrapy, Next.js).
