They also signed an MOU for technology development and commercialization in AI reliability and discussed cooperation on defense projects and a plan to supply Saimple in Korea.
Thinkforbill is expanding its foothold in the European market by co-developing AI reliability evaluation technology with French AI company Nomalys. On the 8th (local time), Thinkforbill took part in the "Korea-France Innovation Connection."
Thinkforbill said it introduced the AI reliability and robustness evaluation technology it is co-developing with Nomalys at the event. The event was held in connection with President Lee Jae-myung's state visit to France.
The event was jointly organized by France's Ministry of Economy, Finance, Industry, Energy and Digital Sovereignty and the Embassy of France in Korea, among others. Companies and research institutions in the AI and quantum fields from Korea and France participated and shared technology and cooperation cases.
From Korea, Thinkforbill, Naver Cloud, LG CNS, Qunova, the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology, and Kyung Hee University attended. From France, Mistral AI, Nomalys, Pasqal, and Quandela participated. This highlighted Thinkforbill's efforts to widen its base for entering the European market.
Since 2025, Thinkforbill and Nomalys have been carrying out a bilateral joint R&D project supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT). Nomalys has mathematical verification technology for AI system safety, robustness, and explainability, and its related business areas include aerospace, defense, rail, nuclear power, finance, insurance, and healthcare.
The joint research is being carried out by combining Thinkforbill's technology with Nomalys' technology. Thinkforbill designs the necessary conditions for AI evaluation, uses Re:In to configure the conditions and data ranges that AI may encounter in real-world environments, and detects gaps in data coverage. Nomalys then verifies model robustness under those conditions, and Saimple evaluates the stable operating level of AI models under those conditions.
Miroslav Tadic, a senior researcher at Thinkforbill, said the two technologies focus on different areas: one on what to evaluate and the other on AI robustness under those conditions. He explained that based on the combination of the two technologies, the companies are conducting joint R&D aimed at a practical evaluation framework for safer and more reliable AI.
The two companies are expanding cooperation to link joint research with business, and on this day they signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for technology development and commercialization in the AI reliability field. They also agreed to cooperate on defense projects and discussed a plan for Thinkforbill to distribute Nomalys' Saimple in Korea. Thinkforbill said 3 to 4 domestic companies and institutions have shown interest in adopting Saimple.
Against this backdrop, the two companies plan to pursue joint development of evaluation technology alongside product supply. They also plan to expand their AI reliability business in Korea and Europe.
Arnaud Huillier, CEO of Nomalys, said AI robustness is one of the key elements of AI system reliability. He explained that AI robustness is an essential factor related to safety and security. He also said that in both Europe and Korea, robustness verification is needed at some point when building AI systems.
Arnaud Huillier said international standards for AI reliability are not yet a major topic of interest in France. In contrast, he said Korea appears to place very high importance on international standards for AI reliability.
He said Nomalys wants to work with Thinkforbill because it hopes to enter the Korean market and jointly establish international standards.
Park Ji-hwan, CEO of Thinkforbill, predicted that the importance of AI reliability will become the top priority in the future direction of AI technology. He said he is confident that Thinkforbill and Nomalys will lead AI model evaluation, a key area in AI reliability. However, he added that the future market has not yet fully taken shape and that it remains difficult for companies to survive and grow on their own. Accordingly, he called on the governments of both countries to show interest and provide support to help create an early market.
