The recruitment fields include mobility and autonomous driving, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), smart construction, and logistics. These are the core business areas of key affiliates such as HL Mando, a leading Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) company; HL Klemove, an autonomous driving solutions company; HL Robotics, a robotics-specialized company; HL D&I Halla, a smart construction company; and HL Holdings, a logistics service provider.

Three finalists will be selected and collaboration synergies will be maximized. Since 2018, HL Group has been operating a startup incubation program and has steadily built up its incubating capabilities.

This open innovation initiative is based at the Seoul Startup Hub, with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seoul Business Agency (SBA), and Korea International Trade Association (KITA) supporting meet-ups, demo days, and business expenses. HL Group plans to consider direct investment after proof-of-concept (PoC), expert mentoring, and evaluations of technological feasibility, marketability, and strategic fit.
