NEARTHLAB, a drone AI company, announced on the 15th that it received an A rating from both Icredible and Korea Technology Credit Rating in its technology assessment for a KOSDAQ technology special listing. These evaluation results officially recognize NEARTHLAB's physical AI technology competitiveness and business viability, accelerating its path to a KOSDAQ listing in 2026.
A technology assessment is a requirement for KOSDAQ's technology-specific listing process. A company must receive an A grade or higher after a comprehensive evaluation of its technological sophistication, marketability, and business prospects to be eligible for preliminary listing review. NEARTHLAB received the highest rating from both institutions, demonstrating its technological sophistication and global market growth potential.
The evaluation highlighted "Aerial Intelligence," a physical AI technology that enables drones to perform missions in complex environments without pilot intervention. Based on this technology, NEARTHLAB is achieving commercial success in wind turbine blade inspection and the defense industry. The company is also strengthening its competitiveness in performing high-difficulty missions by introducing the high-speed interceptor drone "KAiDEN" and the swarm suicide drone "XAiDEN."
Global performance is also becoming visible. NEARTHLAB established a foundation for entry into the North American market through a strategic partnership with Redcat Holdings in the US, and secured a global reference by supplying defense drones to countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Recently, the company demonstrated its combat performance by accurately hitting a target in a live-fire test of the Kayden drone for the US defense company L3 Harris.
NEARTHLAB CEO Jaehyuk Choi said, “Passing this technology assessment objectively proves the direction and competitiveness of NEARTHLAB’s physical AI technology,” and added, “Based on the technological prowess we have proven in the wind power generation market, we will leap forward as a global autonomous flight solution company encompassing the defense industry and successfully settle into the KOSDAQ market in 2026.”
