Aegis Signs MOUs with Major Vietnamese Academic Institutions... Expanding Global Cooperation in AI and Digital Twins

Aegis is accelerating its efforts to penetrate the global market with AI and digital twin-based technologies by signing a series of memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with overseas academic institutions.

According to the company on May 15, Aegis recently visited Vietnam to sign an MOU with the Institute of Applied Artificial Intelligence at Vietnam National University. Additionally, it entered into a three-party MOU with the Department of Civil Engineering and the Center for Marine Construction Technology Consulting and Development at Vietnam Maritime University.

The purpose of these agreements is to build data-driven decision support systems utilizing digital twin technology. Their core focus is to combine the research capabilities of each institution with Aegis’s AI-powered 3D digital twin platform for joint research and pilot projects.

The company stated that, leveraging this MOU, it plans to actively expand into overseas markets by applying AI and digital twin technologies across various industries.

Vietnam, in particular, ranks among the world’s top ten countries in terms of maritime cargo volume, and Vietnam National University is recognized as the nation’s premier university. Vietnam Maritime University is also known for its strengths in marine, port, logistics, and ship engineering.

Aegis plans to secure marine digital twin data and further advance related technologies through collaboration with these universities, paving the way for global market expansion.

Previously, the company participated in EGU 2026, Europe’s largest geoscience conference, where it unveiled next-generation technology that combines AI and digital twins. The key feature of this technology is that, beyond simple visualization, AI directly interprets and processes data automatically.

Currently, Aegis is also conducting joint digital twin research in the fields of aerospace, meteorology, and transportation, collaborating with organizations such as the German Aerospace Center and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research.

A company representative explained, “Following the validation of our technology by European government institutions, we have recently begun discussions on new partnerships in Vietnam. We have established a cooperative framework with overseas research institutions that are actively developing next-generation technologies in the marine digital twin sector.”

The representative added, “We plan to integrate data generated across various fields, including transportation, meteorology, and marine, and use this as a foundation to develop analytical models and simulations.”

Another official stated, “We have built our own digital twin platform based on Earth source technology possessed by only four countries worldwide, enabling data visualization, analysis, and decision support without the need to develop a separate platform. Through this agreement, we will strengthen the international cooperation framework in the fields of AI, digital twins, and data-driven decision-making, while expanding joint research and pilot projects across diverse industries.”

This agreement is seen as an example of Aegis taking a leading role in global collaboration and overseas market expansion in diverse fields such as marine, transportation, and meteorology, with its AI-based digital twin technology at the forefront.
