The funding round was led by Doosan Investment Co., with participation from Hanwha Investment & Securities, SV Investment, and existing investor L&S Venture Capital.

Uniqconn, a wireless communication semiconductor startup, is developing next-generation transmission solutions to replace traditional conductor-based connectors and cables.

Uniqconn is accelerating preparations for mass production. The company collaborates with robotic arms, home appliances, and smartphone manufacturers.

Uniqconn has conducted proof-of-concept (PoC) projects with clients, addressing electrical and operational issues associated with existing transmission lines. Some customers have already requested mass production.

With the new investment, Uniqconn plans to focus on mass production and commercialization of its products to meet growing customer demand.
