Obigo to Join KRW 14.3 Billion Multimodal AI Government Project

Obigo will participate as a joint research and development institution in the government-funded project, "Development of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI) Model Management Technology Linked with AI-SDV Platform."

According to Obigo on September 29, this project will be led by LG Electronics as the main institution, with a consortium comprising Obigo, Deep Insight, OptAI, Solution Link, Seoul National University, and Chung-Ang University. The total research and development budget amounts to approximately KRW 14.3 billion, and the collaborative development will proceed for a total of 42 months, through December 2029.

In this project, Obigo is in charge of developing an AI agent runtime framework for vehicles and an operating platform technology based on over-the-air (OTA) software updates. Through this, the company aims to provide an AI agent operating environment optimized for vehicle environments, and to develop a management system that enables the remote deployment and management of the latest AI agents to tens of thousands of vehicles via OTA, along with real-time monitoring and verification of operational status.

Based on its accumulated experience in commercializing in-vehicle infotainment and its development capabilities, Obigo plans to focus on this research and development effort, and will gradually prepare for entry into the next-generation AI-SDV market and the launch of new businesses, building upon the technical validation results obtained during the project. In addition, the company will seek to expand to mass production applications for domestic and international automakers by leveraging connections with global open-source standards.

Doyoun Hwang, CEO of Obigo, stated, "Our participation in this government project is a crucial opportunity to proactively develop and validate essential in-vehicle AI platform technologies for next-generation AI-SDV environments. By working closely with the other consortium participants, we aim to secure highly advanced technology frameworks and are committed to preparing for the commercialization of the AX platform targeting the future mobility market."
