Hyundai Motor Group's open innovation platform ZER01NE said on Tuesday it partnered with startup accelerator D.Camp in collaboration with 19 financial institutions to recruit startups in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, environmental, social, and governance (ESG), and battery technologies by October 20.

ZER01NE, a seven-year-old initiative, connects innovative startups with Hyundai's future business plans. This collaboration with D.Camp's D.Day event aims to strengthen these ties.

D.Camp is supported by the local Banks Foundation for Young Entrepreneurs. 

The recruitment drive targets pre-seed to seed-stage teams and startups that have secured their first investment (Seed to Pre-A stage).

Selection prioritizes ventures aligned with Hyundai's future focus areas, including AI, robotics, ESG solutions, and battery technology.

A two-stage selection process will determine finalists, culminating in the D.Day event on November 28.

Chosen startups will receive product and service development support, along with potential joint projects with Hyundai departments.

These startups will showcase their innovations at prominent events like CES 2025 and ZER01NE's Venture Demo Day.
