In early 2026, Anthropic plans to open an office in Gangnam, Seoul, to reinforce its commitment to the local AI ecosystem. They aim to collaborate with key partners to leverage AI’s vast potential, reflecting Korea’s position as a leader in AI innovation in Asia. Recent statistics indicate that Korea has one of the largest Claude code developer communities, underscoring the rapid adoption of AI technologies. Anthropic’s initiatives, like the ‘Claude for Startups’ program, highlight ongoing collaboration with local startups and venture capital firms to bolster development efforts.
As evidence of its success, recent reports show that the number of monthly active users of the Claude code has surged sixfold in Korea over the past four months. Furthermore, over a quarter of Claude code users are from the Asia-Pacific region, showcasing strong regional engagement. The new office will enhance strategic partnerships with local entities, government policymakers, and the broader AI community, supporting Korea’s national AI strategy and the goal of becoming a global AI leader. Anthropic executives are confident that the tailored support from their local presence will meet the unique business and technical needs of the Korean market.
