Bango expands to South Korea with KT deal

Episode Summary

Bango PLC (AIM:BGO, OTCQX:BGOPF) CEO Paul Larbey talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's expansion into South Korea, partnering with Korea Telecom (KT), a major local telecommunications provider. The agreement with KT enables the South Korean company to offer bundled subscription services to its 13.50 million customers through the Bango DVM. Larbey explained: "By deploying the Bango DVM, it's going to allow KT to provide a broader array of third-party subscription services to their customers." The platform allows KT to create personalized, multi-party bundles that can be brought to market quickly. Bango is also working with KT to integrate Korean content services for international markets. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a significant focus, with Larbey noting rising demand for AI-powered subscription services. Bango previously launched Google's Gemini Advanced with Verizon and now plans to introduce DeepL, an AI-based translation service, in South Korea. Additionally, working with KT, Bango will help local Korean content providers such as AI learning service Qanda distribute their products globally. Larbey emphasised the strategic importance of entering the South Korean market, drawing parallels to the company’s gradual success in Japan. He noted that NHN’s support as a shareholder strengthens Bango’s position in the Korean market. Looking ahead, Larbey mentioned a strong sales pipeline, with further customer announcements expected and upcoming half-year results in September.
