“For years, investing in startups has been complex and reserved for a select few. Today, we change that. The Smart Investor App makes it easier than ever to discover, evaluate and invest in the next big thing in the most transparent way possible,” said Nandakishor, Director and Co-Founder of Creddinv.

Hyundai Mobis held Mobis Mobility Day in Detroit … introducing its business vision and investment status under the theme of “Mobis in Global.” Exploring local collaboration and business opportunities in Detroit, which is home to big 3 automaker and recently emerging as a key hub for mobility startups.It is expanding the discovery of outstanding startups and strategic investment performance … strengthening support for business proofs of concept, led by MVSV, its US-based investment subsidiary.

SEOUL, South Korea, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Mobis (KRX 012330) held an investment presentation for startups in North America, setting out to secure a future mobility technology alliance. The company announced on 10 that it held the 4th annual Mobis Mobility Day in Detroit, home to the automotive industry. The event had originally been held in Silicon Valley every year. Mobis Mobility Day is an event where Hyundai Mobis introduces its business vision and investment status to global startups, academia, and investors.

Based on its automobile manufacturing infrastructure, Detroit is emerging as a hub for a large number of mobility startups armed with AI and software, as well as production and quality control capabilities.

In this event, these regional characteristics led to many presentations by promising local startups Hyundai Mobis invited. It is reported that in-depth discussions were made regarding mobility trends, particularly in the fields of robotics and cleantech.

Hyundai Mobis changed the venue from Silicon Valley to Detroit this year, considering that its recent global orders have been concentrated on North American customers. The company also considered that by expanding investment and cooperation with promising local startups and jointly developing superior technologies with them, it would be able to promote its products to customers more easily in the future.

During the event, Hyundai Mobis introduced its latest innovations in software-defined vehicle (SDV), electrification, and automotive electronics under the theme of “Mobis in Global,” with presentations on its business vision, open innovation achievements, and investment strategies. It is reported that the event was a great success, attracting over 200 local customer and startup officials. Presentations were given by employees of Mobis Technical Center of America, providing an engaging and informative experience.

“It is becoming important to discover outstanding global startups and make strategic investments to secure innovative technologies that will lead the paradigm shift in mobility,” said Mitchell Yun, investment manager at Mobis Ventures Silicon Valley (MVSV), the organizer of the event. “This year, we will expand our support for business proofs of concept (PoCs), including technology and business feasibility reviews, and strengthen our collaboration to preempt the market.” 

Hyundai Mobis launched Mobis Ventures Silicon Valley, its open innovation base, in Silicon Valley in 2018, and the cumulative amount of money it has invested in startups exceeded 200 billion won last year. Last year, the company made a new investment of 15 million dollars in the US semiconductor company Elevation Microsystems, and in 2020, it invested in the UK’s Envisics and is currently collaborating with it on augmented reality-based head-up display (AR-HUD) technology. It also continues to cooperate with promising companies in the core technology fields of future mobility, including Zendar, a developer of high-performance image radars for autonomous driving, LightIC, an AI-based semiconductor-type lidar company, and Sonatus, a software platform company.

School awarded US$15,000 grant to advance STEM programming

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A team of students from Kuen Cheng High School has been named runner-up in the Otis Asia Pacific region Made to Move Communities student challenge, a competition in which students apply principles of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) to propose solutions to real-world urban mobility issues.

Over the last several months, the high school students, with the guidance of Otis volunteer mentors, designed solutions leveraging AI technology aimed at enabling more inclusive mobility in their communities, and presented their ideas to Otis judges from the company’s Asia Pacific region. Otis (NYSE: OTIS) is the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company.

The students’ solution titled City Alive: Leveraging AI to Resolve Traffic Congestion showcased an innovative concept using drones as command centers for the creation of autonomous and moveable platforms to clear road obstacles. The team received a US$15,000 grant from Otis to further advance STEM programming in their school.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Otis for providing Kuen Cheng High School with the opportunity to participate in this year’s Made to Move Communities challenge,” said Ms. Foo Cheau Yee, teacher-in-charge from Kuen Cheng High School. “It has been an enriching and meaningful experience for our students, who have gained valuable insights through their eight-week collaboration with Otis volunteers—enhancing their AI solution, strengthening their presentation skills, and learning how to position a solution for commercial viability.” 

“Rapid urbanization has driven the swift growth of cities across Malaysia, leading to traffic congestion, longer commute times, and reduced productivity,” said Pradeep Nair, Managing Director of Otis Malaysia. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the students of Kuen Cheng High School for securing second place in the Otis Asia Pacific region with their innovative solution to overcome Malaysia’s urban mobility challenges. Most importantly, we hope this experience has inspired them—and all participating students—to continue exploring and pursuing opportunities in the STEM fields.”

About the Made to Move Communities challenge

Launched in 2020, the Made to Move Communities challenge engages young minds to explore real-world challenges and develop innovative solutions with the potential to create more connected communities and improve mobility for all. This initiative brings together students, educators, and Otis colleagues as mentors with the goals of advancing STEM and leadership skills to help build the next generation of talent, ensuring future workforce readiness, and sustaining innovation.

Each year, the program focuses on a different theme that aligns with global priorities, such as sustainability, accessibility or technology. This year’s theme had students incorporate Artificial Intelligence into their proposals. Students are encouraged to think critically and creatively, applying STEM principles to address mobility-related issues. Through workshops, mentorship, and collaboration, participants gain valuable insights and skills that prepare them for future careers while making a positive impact on society. Participating schools also receive grants at the conclusion of the program to support ongoing STEM education in their schools.

This year, more than 250 students globally from dozens of schools participated in the challenge. To date, the Made to Move Communities program has reached more than 1,000 student participants, involved more than 950 Otis volunteer mentors, and delivered nearly 90 grants totalling over $1 million to support ongoing STEM education at participating schools.
