Kakao Mobility said Monday it has signed a paid proof-of-concept (PoC) agreement to supply its integrated mobility solution to Saudi Arabia’s massive smart city development in Diriyah, marking the first major application of the company's technology overseas. The company signed a memorandum of understanding with Diriyah Company, the developer behind the 90 trillion won ($62.5 billion) project, in May last year to co-develop next-generation mobility services. The latest agreement is for a paid pilot project aimed at verifying its feasibility and effectiveness before full-scale implementation.
