Company Overview#
Nota AI is a Korean company that makes AI models smaller and faster so they can run on edge devices. Its core platform, NetsPresso, optimizes models for specific hardware. On top of this, Nota AI builds on-device vision intelligence products for smart cities, transportation, and industrial safety.
The company started in 2015 and is now listed on the KOSDAQ market. It operates from a Daejeon headquarters with additional offices in Seoul, Sunnyvale, and Berlin.
Technology & Product#
NetsPresso is an AI model optimization platform that understands hardware characteristics. It covers model development, model optimization, and model validation in one place. The platform uses techniques such as structured pruning, quantization, and graph optimization, then validates results on real devices to reduce trial and error.
Nota Vision Agent turns video into actionable insight using generative AI. It supports real-time monitoring, instant alerts, event summary reports, and natural-language Q&A and video search. The company also offers intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and driver monitoring and face recognition (DMS & FR) solutions for traffic and automotive use.
Market & Use Cases#
Nota AI serves two main groups. The first is device makers and chip vendors that need efficient AI on constrained hardware. The second is public-sector and industrial customers that need video intelligence for traffic, safety, and surveillance.
Typical use cases include license plate recognition, pedestrian and fall detection, driver monitoring, and city traffic optimization. The ITS product reuses existing CCTV infrastructure, which lowers deployment cost.
Traction & References#
Cumulative patent filings are 215 and registered patents are 108(DIPS1000+). Revenue grew from KRW 8.4 billion in 2024 to KRW 13.1 billion in 2025(Sisa Journal-e).
Nota AI works with global semiconductor companies including NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Renesas, Sony, MediaTek, and NXP(Nota AI). It was selected for CB Insights’ 2025 AI 100 and won a 2024 Minister of SMEs and Startups award(DIPS1000+). In 2025 it signed a supply contract with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority for a generative-AI traffic solution(Nota AI ITS). The company is registered on the DIPS1000+ deep-tech list and was a 2017 TIPS startup(DIPS1000+).
Collaboration Relevance#
Nota AI fits chipmakers, device OEMs, automotive suppliers, and public agencies. NetsPresso is a strong PoC target when a partner needs to deploy a high-performance model on limited hardware without losing accuracy. Nota Vision Agent and ITS suit cities and operators that want to upgrade existing camera networks with AI.
For Korea-Europe collaboration, the Berlin office and prior work with European partners such as Deutsche Telekom and Arm make Nota AI relevant for edge-AI and smart-mobility projects in Europe.
