Physical AI company NC AI said on Aug. 31 it will take part in the global technology exhibition LEAP 2026, to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia through Sept. 3, and will operate a joint pavilion for the Korean Full-Stack AI Consortium.

LEAP is a major local technology event hosted by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) and the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), among others.

NC AI will introduce technologies related to AI semiconductors, cloud and infrastructure, and AI models at the Korean Full-Stack AI Consortium pavilion led by the Korea AI and Software Industry Association (KOSA), together with MegazoneCloud, Upstage, FuriosaAI and Uracle, among others.

NC AI plans to present physical AI technologies centred on its industry-specific AI, VAETKI, including digital twins, world models and robot foundation models.

It will also demonstrate digital twins that recreate logistics centre operating environments and cities and buildings using its 3D generation technology VARCO 3D and VAETKI Twin.

The company plans to propose physical AI models that can be applied to Saudi industrial sites, including manufacturing automation and defence unmanned systems, based on its experience applying the technology in South Korea's shipbuilding and defence sectors, and to pursue business cooperation with local companies.

NC AI CEO Lee Yeon-su (이연수) said, "We will introduce the VAETKI solution and full-stack AI technologies that have been applied in domestic industrial sites and expand opportunities for cooperation with local partners."
