Data Design Engineering SARL
"Offline Intelligence for Autonomous Systems"
Korea-founded, Luxembourg-based AI software company embedding customized AI into robots and unmanned systems for offline autonomous operations.
Data Design Engineering S.a r.l. (DDE) was founded in 2014 in Seoul, South Korea, and established its European headquarters in Luxembourg in 2022 (Technoport, Esch-Belval). The company specializes in data-driven AI solutions for robots and unmanned systems, enabling fully autonomous operations in offline and GPS/GNSS-denied environments.
DDE's technology has been applied in factory inspection robots for Samsung, library inventory management robots (Bot4Lib, winning a tender from the National Library of Luxembourg), healthcare, and defense. The company won Luxembourg's first AI Excellence Award and a Cybersecurity Innovation honour. Despite the SARL legal form indicating incorporation in Luxembourg, DDE's founding and Asia HQ (2F, 12, Digital-ro 31-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul) remain in South Korea.
The original database entry lists KOR as country, consistent with the founding location. The entity name 'SARL' reflects the Luxembourg legal registration form used for the European subsidiary.
