Nota AI® (CEO Myung-soo Chae), a company specializing in AI lightweighting and optimization technology, has passed the preliminary screening for listing on the KOSDAQ by the Korea Exchange for listing in the second half of the year, receiving recognition for both its technological prowess and business viability.

Nota announced on the 30th that it has passed the preliminary screening for listing on the Korea Exchange's KOSDAQ in just two months and will begin the IPO process in earnest with the goal of listing in the second half of 2025.

With the recent strengthening of technology-specific listing screening criteria and a decline in preliminary approval rates, Nota, which passed the screening at an unusually fast pace, is being evaluated as a company that has proven both technological prowess and business viability.

Nota, which received an 'A·A' grade in the technology assessment in December of last year, is accelerating preparations for listing with this preliminary approval. The underwriter is Mirae Asset Securities.

Nota provides technology to automatically create and distribute AI models optimized for edge device environments through its self-developed AI model optimization platform, NetsPresso®.

This technology has already been verified in numerous commercialization cases through collaboration with global semiconductor companies such as Nvidia, Samsung Electronics, Arm, Qualcomm, Sony, and Renesas.

Recently, we are conducting verification projects in various industries, including industrial safety, screening control, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS), centered around the 'Nota Vision Agent (NVA)', an intelligent video control solution that incorporates Vision Language Model (VLM) technology.

In particular, the company signed a supply contract with the Dubai Transport Authority in the UAE in April 2025, securing the first case of a domestic company supplying a generative AI solution to a Middle Eastern government agency.

Nota established a foundation for global expansion by establishing local corporations in Berlin, Germany in 2020 and Sunnyvale, USA in 2022, and is rapidly expanding its business into key markets such as the Middle East, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Sales have grown approximately tenfold over the past five years, and growth of over 72% year-on-year is expected this year.

CEO Chae Myeong-su stated, “With this IPO as an opportunity, we will lead global technology standards in the fields of AI lightweighting and optimization, and establish ourselves as a company that spearheads the AI transformation across industries.”

Nota plans to strategically invest the funds secured through the listing in the following areas: △enhancing the Netpresso platform, △strengthening global sales and marketing, and △expanding into new industries.

Nota, with its commercialization track record and profit base in AI technology, is poised to become the first AI optimization technology company to be listed on KOSDAQ, attracting the attention of domestic and international investors.It is happening.
