Namutech, an AI and cloud company, said on Wednesday it was selected for the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Voucher Support Project run by South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency. Working with experiential marketing firm Olymplanet, it will run a roughly seven-month pilot that integrates AI agents into web-based extended reality content to autonomously guide users by analysing interests and movement patterns.

South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT will begin piloting 12 innovative services that combine artificial intelligence with digital twins, extended reality and other virtual convergence technologies, starting this month. The projects span safety, industry and everyday-life applications under two programmes focused on AI-based safety management and fostering virtual convergence industries. The ministry plans demonstrations ranging from disease prevention and gas-leak detection to port and shipyard control systems and tourism and hospital guidance services.
