NAVER LABS is to begin a technological collaboration with Qualcomm, a global pioneer in advanced digital wireless communication technologies, products, and services. Starting with a memorandum of understanding with Qualcomm’s parent company, Qualcomm Technology Inc., we are going to proactively integrate various technologies from each company in a range of fields including robotics, self-driving technology, and AR, among others.
Through this technological cooperation, NAVER LABS will be able to take its technologies including self-driving, IVI, robotics, precision location, and AR navigation to the next level by utilizing the know-how and solutions that Qualcomm has accumulated during its time as a leader in the global chip market. Not only that, we also expect our research on ambient intelligence to expand as a result of this partnership. Synergy may take place in the form of advancement, but it can also lead to new possibilities that did not exist before. Through the organic cooperation between the two companies, we will begin new stories of technological innovation in places that can be found in our daily lives. We will continue to share the process and outcomes of the promising work.
