Our Story

Why we are doing
Megaproject business?

Our founder and CEO, John Sungho Kim, was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. He moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and later lived in Nairobi, Kenya during his childhood.

He noticed a significant economic contrast when he moved to Seoul, South Korea, in the 1990s, which he attributed to differences in infrastructure development. Under the Park Chung-hee regime, South Korea built extensive infrastructure including power plants, roads, and factories to drive its economic growth.

Megaproject success and failure rate chart

However, there are issues and highly complex problems, when implementing megaproject.

Only 8.5% of megaprojects successfully meet time and cost targets

Source: Oxford University Research · 16,000 projects analyzed

Despite representing trillions in global spend, megaprojects consistently fail due to poor communication, fragmented information, and a lack of integrated platforms. Oxford University research on 16,000 megaprojects across 130 countries reveals a systemic industry crisis.
