Nearslab (CEO Choi Jae-hyuk), a drone AI specialist, announced on the 8th that it had won the "$3 Million Export Tower" award at the 62nd Trade Day ceremony hosted by the Korea International Trade Association. This marks the second consecutive year the company has achieved this award, following last year's "$2 Million Export Tower" award. Key factors cited for this achievement include the stable export of its wind power generation inspection solution and its entry into the defense industry.
Nears Lab has been recognized for its technological prowess on the global stage, winning the CES 2025 Best Innovation Award and the Edison Awards this year, and being selected as one of Defense Post's "Top 100 Global Defense Drone Companies" through its strategy of transferring autonomous flight technology proven in the civilian market to the defense sector.
In particular, defense drone exports have been in full swing this year, particularly to countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, contributing to export expansion. The company plans to expand its market to various regions in the future, establishing a foundation for long-term global growth.
Meanwhile, Nearslab also received certification as an "Excellent Drone Operator" from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport this year. Companies certified as "Excellent Drone Operators" can receive benefits such as additional points for drone commercialization and overseas expansion support projects, and simplified flight approval procedures, accelerating their domestic and international business expansion.
CEO Choi Jae-hyuk said, “Winning the $3 million Export Tower Award proves that Nearslab’s autonomous flight AI technology is applicable not only to wind power generation inspection but also to the global defense market.” He added, “Based on the support of being selected as an excellent drone business operator, we will accelerate export expansion next year so that Nearslab drones can be used in more countries.”
