Ubiquitous announced on the 25th that it had secured 60 billion won in new investment from venture capital firms Crit Ventures and NXC.
This investment was made in recognition of Ubiquitous' core technologies, including its swarm flight technology and autonomous flight platform, and its potential for global market expansion, amid intensifying competition to foster the global drone industry.
Founded by CEO Lim Hyeon, who holds a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University, Ubiquitous has actively pursued overseas markets since its inception. The company generates the majority of its revenue from overseas markets and recently became the first Korean drone company to receive the "Ten Million Dollar Export Tower Award."
Ubisoft has carried out large-scale projects such as the Netflix K-pop Demon Hunters drone show held on the Han River in Seoul and the Gwangalli M drone light show in Busan, and has expanded its presence in the entertainment drone swarm market by conducting global drone shows related to K-pop artists such as G-Dragon and Blackpink.
Ubisoft is also securing global influence in terms of technological leadership. Ubisoft is the only Korean company to serve on the board of directors of the Dronecode Foundation, which oversees the PX4 drone operating system. Based on this foundation, Ubisoft is participating in the process of establishing global drone standards and plans to apply its technology to future government-sponsored defense drone projects.
In addition, the company is participating in DSK 2026, Asia's largest drone exhibition held in Busan, and is accelerating technological independence by presenting a goal of 100% domestic production of core components.
CEO Lim Hyeon stated that with this investment, the company will strengthen its global leadership in the entertainment swarm drone sector and expand its business into next-generation defense drones that combine autonomous flight technology and physical AI.
Crit Ventures, which led the investment, stated that Ubiquitous is a company that has proven its technological prowess and commercialization capabilities in the global market and that it will actively support its future growth.
