Renault Korea announced on June 16 that it will unveil its future mobility innovation strategy at NextRise 2026, Asia's largest technology and startup event, taking place at COEX in Seoul on June 18-19.

At the event, Renault Korea will set up an exhibition booth under the concept of "Mobility Symphony," allowing visitors to experience the integration of future mobility technologies being developed by Renault Korea and its partners, along with open innovation.

One highlight will be a space dedicated to the "AI Orchestrator," which connects various artificial intelligence (AI) functions related to vehicles through a single AI agent. Currently in development, this feature will enable drivers to command in-car functions such as vehicle control and information retrieval using voice commands, with the AI Orchestrator providing a customized experience based on the driver's preferences and driving conditions.

The booth will also feature collaborations with partners such as Kakao Mobility, Smash Labs, Tmap Mobility, and Valeo. Attendees can enjoy experiences including the next-generation mobility concept vehicle, the Grand Koleos, a rhythm game called "R: Rush" that utilizes AI-generated music, a next-generation 3D navigation system exclusive to Renault Korea vehicles, and an augmented reality game called "R: Racing" that uses the vehicle's cameras.

Earlier, Nicola Paris, CEO of Renault Korea, revealed the "Future Ready" strategy, outlining the company's medium- to long-term execution plans for the domestic market.

This strategy includes plans for horizontal collaboration among partners to achieve the following: the first launch of a software-defined vehicle (SDV) by 2027, acceleration of end-to-end pilot driving based on Level 2++ and transition to AI-defined vehicles (AIDV), production of next-generation electric vehicles at the Busan plant starting in 2028, and the establishment of a domestic electric vehicle battery supply chain.
