Autonomous A2Z (CEO Jihyung Han, hereinafter A2Z) announced on the 16th that it will hold a joint exhibition with UAE's global AI space technology company Space42 (CEO Hasan Al Hosani, Space42) at the ICT exhibition 'GITEX GLOBAL 2025' held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from October 13th to 17th.
Space42 operates a Smart Solutions division that combines geospatial data collection and processing technology with AI to support decision-making for governments, businesses, and communities, while enhancing situational awareness and improving operational efficiency. In 2021, the company launched the UAE's first robotaxi service, TXAI. These vehicles are currently operating on Saadiyat, Yas, Al Maryah, and Al Reem islands, as well as at Abu Dhabi Airport. Last year, Space42 (formerly Bayanat) signed an agreement with A2G to establish a local autonomous driving joint venture in the Middle East, and the project is currently in its final stages.
Through this exhibition, A2Z will introduce the direction of building the UAE smart mobility ecosystem, including the localization of K-autonomous driving technology and the UAE demonstration service model, as well as the autonomous driving technology roadmap, and will unveil the Level 4 autonomous driving vehicle based on the Kia PV5, which will be deployed at the 2025 APEC, to the global market for the first time.
Han Ji-hyung, CEO of A2Z, said, “Zytex Global 2025 is a stage where future technology companies from around the world compete fiercely, and this joint exhibition is also the official debut stage to showcase K-autonomous driving technology to the Middle East and the world.” He added, “As the official autonomous driving operator of APEC 2025, we have proven our technological prowess, and we will lead the commercialization of autonomous driving in the Middle East by cooperating with Kia and Space42.”
