  "summary": "The number of companies listed on the KOSDAQ market through the technology special listing system has surpassed 300 for the first time since its introduction in 2005, with Sky Labs joining the market on September 4. This milestone marks a shift in the composition of the KOSDAQ market, with advanced industries such as AI, semiconductors, and robotics now accounting for the majority of new listings. The technology special listing system provides opportunities for companies with strong technological capabilities and growth potential, even if they lack immediate financial performance. Since its inception, the system has raised a combined 8 trillion won through initial public offerings, with an average market capitalization increase of 147% for listed companies. However, the system faces challenges in managing underperforming companies and has been criticized for focusing too heavily on technological capabilities while overlooking management transparency and profit generation prospects. In response, the Korea Exchange has strengthened qualitative screening and post-listing oversight to enhance market credibility.",
