APEAK

APEAK (Korean: 어픽) is a South Korean weather-data and meteorological solutions company. According to its official website, it describes itself as a "solution-based weather specialist company" offering weather consulting, professional data management, risk-weather management solutions, and data/observation equipment. The company positions weather as an object of investment rather than an unavoidable natural phenomenon, developing service solutions and specialized customized weather content to help clients prepare for risks arising from climate change. APEAK's business is organized around several areas. Its weather-data service provides raw and processed meteorological data, custom data formats, and real-time automatic weather observation equipment monitoring covering satellites, radar imagery, lightning, and fine dust. Its weather-environment solutions include KMA3 collection and display programs from the Korea Meteorological Administration. Its risk-management solutions offer real-time risk monitoring systems for industrial sites and enterprises, indoor air quality and air pollution monitoring systems, and real-time web/mobile solutions. Its big-data/IoT offering covers big-data analysis and consulting as well as AI machine-learning algorithm development. The company was founded in 2016 and registered as a weather business operator (기상사업자) in the same year. It has since built a track record in public and utility-sector projects, including lightning information systems for the Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPCO) and seismic amplification data analysis software for port sites. It has been designated as a supplier by the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency (Korea Data Agency) for AI data voucher projects from 2020 through 2024, and in 2024 established a corporate-affiliated research institute for weather information operations. APEAK has registered several trademarks, including weatherround (2018), weatherpin (2019), and Naln 날엔 (2020), and has filed or obtained patents such as a black-ice detection device and method for road monitoring (2019) and an entry-prohibited zone display device (2020). It registered as an innovative-growth-type venture company in 2018. The company operates through teams including a weather industry team, an SI development team, and a management support team, and serves industrial, corporate, and public-sector clients in South Korea.

APEAK was founded in 2016 and registered as a weather business operator (기상사업자) in South Korea in the same year. In 2017, the company built a lightning information system for the Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPCO) and moved into the Weather Business Growth Support Center. In 2018, it developed the Weather Risk (웨더리스크) weather risk management system solution, registered as an innovative-growth-type venture company, established a dedicated weather information operations research department, and registered the weatherround trademark. In 2019, APEAK obtained a patent for a black-ice detection device and method for road monitoring and registered the weatherpin trademark. It was also designated as a supplier by the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency (Korea Data Agency) for AI data voucher projects, a designation it would receive repeatedly in subsequent years. In 2020, it registered the Naln 날엔 trademark and filed a patent for an entry-prohibited zone display device (application 10-2020-0015674). In 2021, APEAK maintained the integrated lightning information system for KEPCO's Electric Power Research Institute, developed an IoT integrated weather information collection and display system (patent), and developed software for analyzing amplification data of port sites due to earthquakes. It was again designated as a supplier for AI data voucher data processing and analysis projects. In 2022 and 2023, it continued to be designated as a supplier for the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency's AI data voucher projects. In 2024, APEAK established a corporate-affiliated research institute for weather information operations and was designated as a supplier for the Korea Data Industry Promotion Agency's AI data voucher data processing and analysis project, as well as for the Korea Meteorological Industry Technology Institute's weather and climate data utilization support project solution construction.
