Hancom is accelerating development of a sovereign agentic operating system (OS) aimed at the European market through joint development cooperation with partners in Poland.

Hancom said on Tuesday it agreed on a cooperation agenda to develop the agentic OS with 7Bulls, a Polish state-certified research and development (R&D) centre, and Algomine, a Polish AI and IT company.

The joint technology development agenda has 4 pillars: productisation and localisation, integration with legacy solutions, governance and responses to EU regulations, and market cooperation and commercialisation.

Hancom will develop a Europe-style sovereign agentic OS in a way that does not remove existing systems. It will start localisation work with language. In Poland, Bielik, a large language model (LLM) specialised for the Polish language, is already established. Hancom is reviewing a structure that combines the local model with the agentic OS. The partners will jointly build an evaluation system to verify Polish-language agent performance, and will also set locale support such as date, currency and character notation as a task.

The deployment environment will be based on closed networks and on-premises setups. Together with local infrastructure operators, it will build a deployment system that moves software as a whole so it runs the same way anywhere.

Hancom will also develop, with 7Bulls, a connection module (connector) that attaches to local core systems. The module is a device that relays signals so AI agents can read and write data in existing systems. Electronic tax invoices and e-government platforms are being cited as initial targets.

Hancom and its partners will jointly establish development guidelines reflecting requirements under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It plans to use Algomine’s customer channels to target Poland’s public and financial markets, and to pursue joint proof-of-concept (PoC) projects to secure European references in parallel.

Hancom CEO Yeon-su Kim (김연수) said, "Europe’s public systems are assets accumulated over decades," adding, "Our approach is not to replace them but to make them intelligent." Kim also said, "AI sovereignty is not completed by building infrastructure," and stressed, "A layer is needed that makes data actually work on top of it, and Hancom is trying to fill that place."
