Hexafactory, a leading South Korean drone company, marked a significant  milestone in its international expansion at the "Drone Italy 2024" exhibition,  held at BolognaFiere, Italy. The company showcased its cutting-edge  autonomous drone technology, particularly the Hexa Safe-X autopilot drone,  which is designed for indoor and underground facility inspections. Unlike  traditional drones that struggle to operate in environments where GPS  signals are unavailable, the Hexa Safe-X uses 3D LiDAR SLAM technology  to perform autonomous flights without human control in GPS-denied areas. At the exhibition, Hexafactory further accelerated its market entry into  Europe by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with DDA S.r.l., an Italian drone company.  This partnership will see Hexafactory supply its autonomous flight drone  solutions, including multirotor and VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing)  technologies, to the Italian market. DDA S.r.l. will be responsible for  distributing these solutions, offering technical support, and providing training  in Italy, using Hexafactory's technology to enhance its drone product lineup. The event received significant support from organizations such as the  Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, the Korea Aviation Safety  Technology Institute, and the KOTRA Milan Trade Center, which all played  a role in helping Korean drone companies, including Hexafactory, expand  their presence in the Italian market. The signing ceremony was attended by  the CEOs of Hexafactory and DDA S.r.l., alongside KOTRA representatives, marking a key step in the collaboration between the two companies. Kim Seong-min, CEO of Hexafactory, expressed enthusiasm for introducing  their domestically developed autonomous drone technology to Italy, with  plans to extend their reach into the broader European and U.S. markets.  Through this partnership with DDA S.r.l., Hexafactory aims to expand the  distribution of its drone solutions globally, targeting industries that require  advanced, GPS-independent inspection technologies. This move aligns with Hexafactory’s broader strategy to leverage its  proprietary drone technology, which has already gained recognition and  awards in South Korea, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and  Transport Minister’s Award and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety  Minister’s Award. With the completion of the Hexa Safe-X autopilot drone,  Hexafactory is accelerating efforts to strengthen its position in both domestic  and international markets. (ICE SEOUL)
