Qualcomm plunges money into restaurants
 

Every large multinational tech company has a VC arm, and Qualcomm is no exception to that rule. The money it invests is partly as a hedge to hide behind, partly a PR exercise to show it’s heard the 21st century mantra, “innovation” and sometimes it’s even related to technology a firm wants to push.

Qualcomm, like many other tech multinationals is seeking to diversify. And as part of this strategy, the firm has apparently put over $6 million into a Korean firm called MangoPlate.

MangoPlate is a service that helps you find restaurants.

According to the Korea Times, Qualcomm wants to help grow the Korean market and it believes that “food technology” has great potential for growth.
