About
Based in South Korea, LIHAI is a company that specializes in advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, focusing on intelligent control and autonomous flight systems to enhance urban mobility and logistics. LIHAI, founded in 2018, is headquartered in Gyeongju-si, South Korea, and develops UAV solutions for various sectors.

LIHAI specializes in the development and deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) focused on intelligent control and fully autonomous flight technologies. Their core products include AI-enabled drone solutions for urban air mobility (UAM), cargo air vehicles for military logistics, and innovative drone light shows. These offerings cater to diverse operational needs across municipal, military, and entertainment sectors, with applications extending into urban centers beyond South Korea. LIHAI operates on a B2B revenue model, engaging in partnerships with municipalities, event management firms, and defense contractors.
Revenue is generated through direct sales and service agreements for UAV systems, including maintenance and operational support tailored to specific applications such as urban air mobility and drone light shows. While pricing structures remain proprietary, the company emphasizes the value-added services inherent in its product offerings. Looking ahead, LIHAI plans to launch new UAV technologies aimed at enhancing urban mobility solutions by 2026. The company is targeting expansion into additional markets, particularly in Asia and Europe, to increase its presence where UAV applications are becoming more prevalent.
The recent Series A funding of KRW 2 billion will be utilized to support the development of these initiatives, including product enhancements and market entry strategies scheduled for execution by late 2026.
