[Edaily Reporter Shin Ha-yeon ] WOOJINI&S(010400)is trading up by over 13% in early trading. This is believed to be due to strong buying interest following news that the company was selected for the government’s “Support Project for the Rapid Commercialization of AI Applications (Environment).”
According to MP Doctor on the 2nd, as of 9:20 a.m. today, WOOJINI&S is trading at 3,990 won, up 13.03% from the previous trading day.
WOOJINI&S announced today that it has formed a consortium with Irum Technology, a company specializing in AI-based integrated monitoring of water supply networks, and has been selected to receive support under the “AI Application Product Rapid Commercialization Support Project (Environment)” promoted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute.
This project is part of the “Support Program for the Rapid Commercialization of AI-Applied Products,” jointly promoted by 11 government ministries, and aims to bring AI products and services in the environmental sector to market within one to two years. Out of a total of 145 projects, 17 were selected, and approximately 41 billion won in government funding is scheduled to be invested by 2027.
Leveraging its expertise in mechanical and fire protection system construction—gained through large-scale projects such as the Yongin Cluster of the “ SK hynix(000660) ” and the Naver Data Center in Sejong—WOOJINI&S will be responsible for the construction of pipelines and facilities, as well as on-site implementation, where Irum Technology’s AI-based integrated water supply network monitoring platform, “AquaVision.AI,” will be deployed. AquaVision.AI is a platform that analyzes sensor data in real time to detect leaks (with an accuracy of over 95%), identify water quality abnormalities, and support decision-making for pipeline maintenance.
Taking this project as an opportunity, the two companies plan to accelerate the early commercialization of a turnkey integrated solution combining AI monitoring and facility construction, and to target the public infrastructure market, including local government water supply modernization projects. In addition, they aim to expand into overseas water infrastructure markets—such as the UAE, the United States, and Indonesia—in addition to domestic local government maintenance projects.
