MSI Labs, Inc., which is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) agent platform specialized in nuclear energy, announced on the 25th that it has been selected as the main organization for the 'AI Global Big Tech Promotion Project' (competitive R&BD) hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
This project is a government-supported program that links AI technology and infrastructure from public research institutes within the R&D special zone with private companies to foster innovative companies with global competitiveness. Through this selection, MSI Labs has established a foundation for technology commercialization and expansion into overseas markets.
The project is led by MSI Labs, with Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute and KAIST participating as joint research institutes. The three organizations plan to collaborate to develop a public-private innovation model based on public technology.
MSI Labs is a technology startup founded by researchers from the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design department of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. It has developed various engineering solutions in the nuclear power field, including high-precision analysis, structural evaluation, non-destructive diagnosis, and condition prediction.
Based on this expertise, MSI Labs attracted investment from Bluepoint Partners, an early-stage startup investment firm, and was selected for various public-private support programs, including TIPS, Asan Nanum Foundation, IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, and Korea Credit Guarantee Fund.
Through this project, MSI Labs will transfer nuclear power and AI technologies from the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and promote private-sector-led AI technology internalization and commercialization. Through this, the company aims to facilitate the digital transformation of the next-generation nuclear power industry and strengthen global competitiveness in related fields.
“This project is an opportunity to showcase AI technology specialized in the nuclear power field to the global market,” said Kang-Heon Lee, CEO of MSI Labs. “We will simultaneously pursue technological advancement and commercialization to grow into a global-level core technology company.”
