On the international stage, the South Korean Stock Exchange has demonstrated how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can transform financial flows, acting as a thermometer for the global technology sector.

SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace company, is another major theme of the day.

These institutions have invested significant portions of their endowment funds in SpaceX and expect to profit billions of dollars from the company's valuation.

Another technological highlight is the startup DataMint, which uses AI to monitor physical assets, such as solar panels and vehicle fleets, helping large companies identify dirt or maintenance issues automatically.
