Deeply Secures Singapore Government Agency Pilot Project

Domestic sound-based artificial intelligence (AI) technology startup Deeply was uniquely selected as the only Asian company for the global demonstration project 'Hatch Dimension X' program, organized by HTX (Home Team Science & Technology Agency) under Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs, and successfully completed its participation. This program is a PoC (Proof of Concept) project aimed at innovating public safety technology worldwide. In the recently concluded 5th program (Cohort 5), Deeply was among the 12 startups finally selected from over 270 applicants, earning recognition for its technological prowess as the sole Asian company. This marks the second participation by a Korean company, following Clickah in 2024, demonstrating the global competitiveness of Korean startups. Deeply conducted a four-month in-depth demonstration process using its self-developed 'Listen AI' technology. Listen AI is an innovative sound-based anomaly detection system that detects dangerous situations through sound in CCTV blind spots or dark areas. In this PoC, Deeply successfully demonstrated its ability to collect and analyze various environmental noises by installing microphones in actual outdoor spaces and accurately identifying anomalous situations. At the 'HTX Hatch Final Demo Day' held on July 31st, Deeply showcased its excellent technological capabilities through a Listen AI technology demo and a detailed presentation. The event was divided into a closed session for government agency practitioners and an open session for industry stakeholders. Following the presentation, Deeply is discussing the potential for in-depth follow-up collaboration with HTX and plans to undergo a process of consultation with relevant agencies and expansion of technology application scope over the next 3-4 months. Furthermore, through networking sessions after the Demo Day, Deeply sought opportunities to connect with system integrators, distribution partners, and investors, and participated in an investor presentation event co-hosted with Enterprise Singapore, thereby establishing a bridgehead for global market entry. A Deeply official stated their ambition, saying, "Leveraging our participation in the Hatch Dimension X program, we will further advance our Listen AI technology and grow into a key partner in the global public safety sector, beyond Asia." To date, with over 1,000 startups having applied across a total of 6 cohorts, this program is establishing itself as a global gateway in the public safety technology field.
