Viewrun Technology (CEO Jae-kwang Kim, hereinafter Viewrun) , an AI-based cognitive solution specialist, announced on the 4th that CEO Jae-kwang Kim received a commendation from the Minister of SMEs and Startups in recognition of his performance in the 'DIPS 1000+ Project for Super Gap Startups'.
This award is a government award presented to the CEO of a startup company that has achieved excellent performance by evaluating the performance of a national strategic project being promoted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups to foster more than 1,000 deep-tech startups in 10 new industries, including system semiconductors, bio, and future mobility.
Viewrun was selected as a project target company in May of last year and is receiving up to 600 million won in commercialization funding over three years. In particular, its achievements in commercializing LiDAR perception technology and domestically developing autonomous driving technology were recognized in separate evaluations, leading to this award.
CEO Kim Jae-kwang obtained a temporary autonomous driving operation license (Korea and the US) based on a single LiDAR sensor, and based on this, he has been promoting the commercialization of the LiDAR perception solution 'VueOne' and the urban safety and crowd analysis solution 'VueTwo'. Recently, he introduced 'VueX', a platform that can handle the entire AI development process, establishing a system that allows even non-experts to build AI models in a web-based environment.
Viewrun's technology is leading to the establishment of a technology ecosystem for lidar perception and smart infrastructure, and a B2B licensing model through collaborations with global manufacturers and component companies. Viewrun is also being applied to public infrastructure, such as local government intersection safety systems and crowd analysis environments.
VueX has strengthened its global market competitiveness by winning six international technology awards, including CES, Tech.AD, and the World Smart City Expo . Last year, the company secured 22 billion won in Series A funding , bringing its total investment to 33 billion won. VueX plans to unveil a live demo and industry-specific application examples at CES 2026 in January next year.
CEO Kim Jae-kwang said, “It is meaningful that our consistent efforts to localize and globally expand lidar recognition technology have been recognized,” and added, “We will continue to innovate to enhance the safety and perfection of autonomous driving technology and expand the role of Korean technology in the global market.”
