[Market Focus] Vunect Surges on News of Lee Jaemyung's Pledge to Foster AI Robot Unicorns

Vunect's stock price is on the rise. This appears to be due to the company's involvement in related businesses, which drew attention after Lee Jaemyung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, indicated policy support for fostering artificial intelligence (AI) robot unicorns (unlisted companies valued at over 1 trillion KRW).

As of 9:44 a.m. on April 30, Vunect's stock price stood at 5,920 KRW, up 19.08% from the previous day. The positive momentum seems to have been driven by Lee's remarks, in which he pledged to enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing and high-tech industries as part of his campaign promises for the Daegu and North Gyeongsang regions.

Lee proposed fostering advanced industrial clusters, including establishing a base for secondary battery supply chains and attracting automotive parts R&D industries. He also outlined plans to promote digital healthcare at the Daegu Advanced Medical Complex, as well as to nurture future core industries such as AI robots and hydrogen industries. He stated, "Daegu is the optimal city equipped with AI robot industry infrastructure," adding, "We will focus on nurturing AI robot deep tech unicorn companies to enhance technological competitiveness and support their overseas expansion."

Vunect is a company specializing in industrial extended reality (XR), and has developed solutions that combine 'digital twin' technology with quadruped robot technology. At the recent World IT Show, the company also revealed that its solution can be applied to Boston Dynamics' quadruped robots.
