Hyundai AutoEver leads security infrastructures projects in Africa


Hyundai AutoEver, the software subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, has secured contracts to develop public security infrastructure in Angola and Mozambique, two developing African nations. In June of this year, the company signed an 89 billion won ($65.7 million) contract with Angola to enhance security in the capital city of Luanda and surrounding areas. This project involves the implementation of a system similar to the Korean National Police Agency's public order control tower, including closed-circuit television (CCTV), optical communication networks, and five control centers for regional policy agencies. The project is expected to take approximately two years to complete and aims to improve public security in Angola by establishing an organized system for reporting criminal activities. Additionally, in September of last year, Hyundai AutoEver secured a 105.4 billion won contract with Mozambique to build a public safety management system, which includes the establishment of national and local control centers for crime prevention and disaster management, as well as public security and CCTV control systems. Both projects in Angola and Mozambique are being carried out as paid loans from the Korean government's economic development cooperation fund (EDCF), which is part of the country's official development assistance to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Hyundai AutoEver has been involved in other EDCF projects, such as establishing a land information system in Bangladesh and hospital information systems at national cancer centers in the Ivory Coast and Senegal. An official from Hyundai AutoEver expressed confidence in the company's ICT capabilities and marketing strategies, emphasizing their commitment to successfully completing the projects and contributing to strengthening the local safety net.
