[Market Focus] Experix Shares Surge on Kim Moonsoo's Cybersecurity Pledge Highlighting Biometric Security

Shares of Experix, a company that provides various solutions based on biometric technology for security and authentication, are performing strongly. This appears to be due to the positive impact of People Power Party presidential candidate Kim Moonsoo emphasizing cybersecurity as part of his "Top 10 Presidential Election Pledges."

As of 10:50 a.m. on May 12, 2025, Experix shares were trading at 4,925 won, up 11.93% from the previous day. The positive sentiment seems to stem from candidate Kim’s pledge to designate ten cutting-edge technologies?including artificial intelligence (AI), secondary batteries, AI semiconductors, and cybersecurity?as national strategic projects, and to provide comprehensive support such as regulatory easing.

In particular, the inclusion of cybersecurity is being highlighted. Founded in 2017, Experix has provided a range of solutions based on biometric technology, including fingerprint and facial recognition-based access control systems and mobile authentication solutions. Through its affiliate Intellectual Discovery (ID), the company also entered the AI semiconductor sector as an early investor in FuriosaAI.

Recently, Experix signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with FuriosaAI to support the Chungcheongbuk-do Multipurpose Synchrotron Radiation Accelerator Construction Project, continuing its collaboration. The synchrotron accelerator project is analyzed as essential infrastructure for basic technology research and the development of national strategic technologies, closely linked to competitiveness in semiconductors, bio-pharmaceuticals, and secondary batteries.
