The Ministry of Science and ICT in South Korea opened a 30-day call for applications (until Feb. 25) for a small-business productization program that supports commercialization of radio-frequency technologies used in physical AI (robotics, autonomous vehicles, sensing, energy transfer, communications). A total budget of 420 million won is allocated, with up to 60 million won per company for prototyping and testing. New target areas this year include intelligent robots and smart mobility to accelerate market entry of RF-AI convergence innovations. Selected firms will receive tailored technical support (design, testing, performance evaluation) and access to radio playgrounds (Yongsan, Chungbuk, Daegu). Applicants face a two-stage selection (document review and presentation); details are on the Ministry and Korea Radio Promotion Association websites.
