-NdotLight builds data infrastructure that can be directly used for physical AI training simulations

-Validating its business potential and laying the foundation for global growth; actively hiring across all functions

-NAVER D2SF makes its third investment following initial investments in 2021 and 2022, continuing long-term support and exploring collaboration opportunities in physical AI data

SEONGNAM, South Korea, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER D2SF, the corporate venture capital arm of NAVER, has made a follow-on investment in NdotLight (CEO, Jinyoung Park), a data infrastructure company for physical AI. The KRW 15 billion funding round was led by Korea Development Bank. This marks NAVER D2SF’s third investment in NdotLight, following its participation in the company’s Pre-Series A round in 2021 and Series A round in 2022. NAVER D2SF decided to make this additional investment based on NdotLight’s potential to address data, one of the key bottlenecks in physical AI.

NdotLight has developed TRINIX, a “simulation-ready” 3D data generation solution that can be directly applied to physical AI training simulations. As data becomes increasingly critical to physical AI, various approaches such as teleoperation have been explored. However, significant gaps in data quality, slow collection speed, and high costs have remained major bottlenecks when applying such data to simulation environments where real-world AI training takes place.

NdotLight addresses this challenge through an automated pipeline that generates 3D data with detailed physical properties such as mass and friction, as well as joint structures and collision boundary information. In particular, TRINIX integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA’s simulation platform, enabling the company to supply large-scale, high-quality 3D simulation datasets.

NdotLight currently provides AI training data to humanoid robotics and robotics foundation model companies, including Holiday Robotics, AeiRobot, ROBROS, and RLWRLD. The company is also participating as a data supplier in physical AI projects led by major enterprises such as Hyundai Motor Company and LG Electronics, validating its business potential as data infrastructure that can be applied in real-world industrial settings.

The NdotLight team brings strong technical and business expertise across AI and 3D graphics. CEO Jinyoung Park previously worked on 3D launcher development at Samsung Electronics, while CTO Suntae Kim led AI and 3D engine development at NAVER and Samsung Electronics. NdotLight has also been named by CB Insights, a global venture research firm, as one of the world’s notable 3D engine companies. With this latest funding, the company is actively hiring top talent across all functions.

NAVER D2SF has built long-term partnerships with frontier startups by providing venture capital at the early stage and continuing to support their growth through follow-on investments. Since its first investment in NdotLight in 2021, NAVER D2SF has worked closely with the company to build a 3D content creation environment, followed by a subsequent investment in 2022. Through this additional investment, NAVER D2SF plans to explore new collaboration opportunities with NdotLight in physical AI.

“NdotLight is a team that has built deep trust with NAVER D2SF not only through our investments, but also through close collaboration as a resident startup at NAVER 1784,” said Sanghwan Yang, Head of NAVER D2SF. “The team has consistently identified key opportunities ahead of fast-changing market shifts and moved quickly to execute on them. We expect NdotLight to take its next leap as a leading physical AI data company and achieve even greater growth.”

NAVER D2SF is NAVER’s in-house corporate venture arm, supporting sustainable growth by collaborating with startups. Founded in 1999, NAVER has maintained its position as Korea’s leading search engine for over 20 years and operates across commerce, content, fintech, and cloud services. Under the technological vision of D2SF, NAVER is actively developing new technologies and global partnerships to grow as a leading tech company. To learn more, visit https://d2sf.naver.com

Vietnam’s #1 bank to build a greenfield, AI-native digital platform, redefining the mobile-first experience for corporate clients and accelerating enterprise innovation.

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. and HANOI, Vietnam and BANGALORE, India and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia and SINGAPORE, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Virtusa Corporation, a global product and platform engineering services company, today announced a strategic partnership with Vietcombank (VCB), Vietnam’s leading state-owned commercial bank. Following the official project kickoff ceremony held on July 30 in Hanoi, the organizations will embark on a multi-year transformation program to build a unified, scalable, and AI-native corporate digital banking platform, officially named VCB Corporate DigiBank, designed to reimagine the digital experience for corporate clients across the region.

As Vietnam’s leading financial institution, Vietcombank is making this strategic investment to cement its position as the market leader and significantly accelerate the launch of financial products to corporate clients. Marking the largest technology project in Vietcombank’s history, the greenfield transformation will replace legacy infrastructure with a future-ready, cloud-native architecture, delivering a persona-based, mobile-first experience for mid-sized and large corporate clients. By unifying customer journeys across web and mobile channels, Vietcombank aims to provide its corporate customers with the same intuitive, frictionless digital interactions typically reserved for retail banking.

“This project is not just a technological upgrade; it is a comprehensive transformation of Vietcombank’s digital capacity,” said Mr. Le Quang Vinh, Member of the Board of Directors, CEO and Project Director. “By internalizing international best practices, we are building long-term, self-reliant digital capabilities. Ultimately, the success of this transformation will be measured by one metric: the satisfaction and trust of our corporate customers as they experience this new platform.”

“To deliver on this vision, we are building a modern digital ecosystem that actively promotes digital transformation across the broader business community,” added Ms. Phung Nguyen Hai Yen, Deputy CEO and Deputy Project Director. “By combining Vietcombank’s systemic strength with Virtusa’s deep international expertise, we are ensuring this platform sets a new benchmark for quality and innovation in the national digital economy.”

The new corporate banking platform leverages Virtusa’s 25-plus years of domain-driven platform engineering expertise. The initial launch phase will focus on modernizing Account Management and Payments, bringing immediate value to corporate clients in Vietnam. Subsequent releases will rapidly expand the platform’s modular capabilities to offer other products, including lending, trade finance, collections, foreign exchange, and investments.

A cornerstone of the partnership is Virtusa’s commitment to a collaborative build model that results in a fully bank-owned platform and IP. Through a structured Transfer of Technical Knowledge (TOTK) framework, Virtusa will ensure that Vietcombank’s internal teams are fully equipped to own, run, and scale the technology independently over the long term.

“The most optimal results are achieved when Vietcombank and Virtusa operate as a unified team, moving toward a common goal and committing to solving challenges together,” said Hemant Tantia, Business Head – Asia at Virtusa. “Entering the AI-driven era, we are committed to optimizing AI technology in this implementation, thereby setting a new standard for the Vietnamese banking industry. By combining our deep industry experience, innovative spirit, and global engineering strengths with Vietcombank’s profound market understanding, this project will become a breakthrough lever helping Vietcombank rapidly achieve its strategic goals.”
