Hyundai Motor Group Hosts 'HMG Developer Conference'

From the 16th to the 17th of next month for two days

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Group is creating a communication platform to share the experiences and know-how of developers who are realizing software-defined vehicles (SDV), cars centered on software.

Hyundai Motor Group announced on the 18th that it will hold the ‘HMG Developer Conference,’ a festival for developers in the mobility industry, for two days from the 16th to the 17th of next month, and has started registration for conference participants.

Marking its second year, this conference, where many Hyundai Motor Group developers will participate, will be held in a hybrid format combining on-site and online presentations.

The conference will feature Hyundai Motor Company, Kia, Hyundai AutoEver, 42dot, and startups collaborating with Hyundai Motor Group (Coconut Silo, Mbiome), presenting various development experiences and know-how.

On the first day, the 16th, executives and developers leading research and development at Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang will conduct on-site presentations on core technologies related to Hyundai Motor Group’s transition to the SDV system.

The presentations will begin with an opening by President Changhyun Song, who is in charge of the Global Software Center and TaaS Division, and will include Executive Director Woongjun Jang of the Autonomous Driving Division, Senior Executive Director Chikyung Kim of the Vehicle Control Strategy Office, Senior Executive Director Hyungki Ahn of the Electronics Development Office, and Senior Executive Director Sungwoon Kim of Hyundai AutoEver, along with development practitioners from various fields. After all presentations, networking time will be provided for on-site participants and presenters to engage in free conversations.

On the second day, the 17th, developers responsible for practical work in the development field will hold a Q&A session with participants using the online video conferencing platform Zoom.

To facilitate this, presentation videos on diverse topics such as autonomous driving, infotainment, data science, artificial intelligence, car cloud, and electronics/body will be released in advance on the 10th of next month, and pre-questions will be accepted through the website.

In the final session, HR representatives from each field will conduct recruitment briefings directly via Zoom, providing participants with hiring information and holding free consultation time.

Anyone who registers through the website can participate in the 2nd HMG Developer Conference without restrictions. However, separate applications are required for participants who wish to attend the on-site presentations, and those unable to attend in person can watch via live streaming.

A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, “As competition in future mobility development intensifies, the role of developers is becoming increasingly important,” adding, “We will expand opportunities to interact externally and grow together based on the know-how of Hyundai Motor Group developers.”
