CHEM.I.NET CO., Ltd.

CHEM.I.NET CO., Ltd. (Korean: 켐아이넷(주)) is a South Korean information and communications technology company based in Seoul. Its name stands for "Chemical Information Network," and its business is built around applying intelligent information technology — big data and artificial intelligence — to the field of chemical hazard and risk assessment. Rather than being a chemicals manufacturer, the company positions itself as a platform and software provider serving the safety, health and regulatory evaluation of chemical substances. According to its official website, CHEM.I.NET leads the development of ICT platform products and services that converge intelligent information technology with chemical hazard assessment. Its stated business areas include systems for chemical exposure and risk assessment, risk assessment of nutritional and functional ingredients, and microbial risk assessment platforms. This places the company at the intersection of environmental health, food safety and regulatory science, where software tools are used to model exposure, evaluate toxicity and support safety decisions. The company has also moved into AI-based analytical software. Its news section reports that an AI-based automatic microplastics identification software received a first-grade certification, and that the microplastics analysis software "K-SPOT 2025" obtained a GS (Good Software) first-grade certification. It further reports selection as an industrial convergence innovative item by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) for K-SPOT 2025 and one other product, a poster presentation award at the Korean Society of Environmental Health fall conference, and earlier recognition including selection as an industrial convergence leading company and industrial convergence item in 2020 and a commendation award in a 2018 Ministry of Food and Drug Safety R&D program. CHEM.I.NET is a relatively specialized, business-to-business and government-facing technology firm rather than a consumer brand. Its customers and partners are likely to include regulators, research institutes, food and environmental safety bodies, and industry clients that need defensible chemical and microbiological risk assessments. The company is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and its activities are primarily oriented to the South Korean market, with its certifications and awards coming from Korean government ministries and academic societies.

CHEM.I.NET CO., Ltd. is a South Korean technology company headquartered in Seoul. Public information about its early corporate history is limited, but its official website and news records document a trajectory from chemical information and risk-assessment systems toward AI-enabled analytical software. The company's core identity is captured in its name, "Chemical Information Network." It built its business around ICT platforms that apply intelligent information technology — big data and artificial intelligence — to chemical hazard and risk assessment. Its stated business areas include systems for chemical exposure and risk assessment, risk assessment of nutritional and functional ingredients, and microbial risk assessment platforms. This focus places the firm in the regulatory-science and environmental-health software niche, serving clients who must evaluate the safety of chemical substances, food ingredients and microorganisms. By 2018 the company was active in government-funded research and development: its news records a 2018 encouragement award (장려상) in a research and development program of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (식품의약품안전처). In 2020 it was selected as an industrial convergence leading company and its product as an industrial convergence item, recognition associated with South Korea's industrial convergence policy. In the mid-2020s the company expanded into AI-based environmental analysis. On 2025-09-29 it announced that its microplastics analysis software "K-SPOT 2025" had obtained a GS (Good Software) first-grade certification. On 2025-11-27 it reported a poster presentation award at the Korean Society of Environmental Health fall conference. On 2025-12-31 it announced selection as a Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) "industrial convergence innovative item" for K-SPOT 2025 and one other product. On 2026-01-09 it reported that its AI-based automatic microplastics identification software had received a first-grade certification. These milestones indicate a company that has grown from chemical information and risk-assessment platforms into AI-driven analytical tools for microplastics and related environmental health applications, while maintaining its base in Seoul and its orientation toward the South Korean market and government-linked programs.
