Datavault AI, a prominent player in AI-driven data visualization, valuation, and monetization, announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Korea Aerospace University (KAU) to drive education, research, and global collaboration in aerospace credentialing, with implications for both Korea and global aviation.
Key Discussion Points in the Agreement were as Follows:
- Deploying Datavault AI’s VerifyU platform for Korea’s inaugural digital credentialing, including real-time pilot identity verification and simulation machine aptitude assessments for multiple aircraft types. This addresses rising demands in a sector in which analysts report global private aviation demand surged 3.8% year-over-year in 2025, led by 5.2% growth in North America.
- Joint research on quantum supercomputing along with their digital twins to analyze aerospace designs, improving aircraft management as well as human-machine interfaces.
- Hosting academic events to foster data collaborations with aerospace leaders, where AI refines next-generation data capabilities via predictive modeling and secure verification.
This builds on Datavault AI’s momentum, including its USD 150 million investment from Scilex to develop a supercomputer powering independent data exchanges (IDEs), Real‑World Assets (RWA) platforms, and digital twins.
Executive Statement
According to Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI, this contract positions Datavault AI to deliver trusted, scalable credentialing for global pilots amid commercial and private aviation’s boom. Their VerifyU strategy, powered by advanced AI technologies, verifies human and machine aptitudes, ensure integrity in high-stakes environments.
According to Darrell Jung, Datavault AI Korea Country Manager, KAU’s collaboration accelerates Korea’s leadership in verified aviation credentials. It’s an honor to work alongside Sonia, Nate, and President Hee-Young Hurr on this landmark partnership. Together, they are integrating leadership, vision, as well as technology to position Datavault AI at the forefront of aerospace credentialing and innovation. The momentum they are building here with KAU will resonate not just in Korea, but across the global aviation industry.
