There are 45 projects created by the Hyundai, with eight key themes. Startups are asked to collaborate in areas such as: mobility and logistics, eco-tech, in-car UX, vision AI, AI analytics, materials, drones, and robot material, and interactive contents.

Startups apply a specific project, who will then be reviewed, and if successful, be recruited for participation.

Only registered corporations will be eligible for consideration and can submit their application on the official application website from July 1 to July 29.  Results will be announced on September 8th.

Selected startup cpmpanies will be given a project development budget, and could well be elegible for equity investments.

To date, 39 startups have received equity investments from the the Hyundai Group. This ingenious initiative aims to dig out hidden genius that might otherwise remain obscure.
