About
About UVify
UVify develops and operates drone systems for both aerial entertainment and robotics research. IFO is marketed as a swarm light-show drone that the company sells and uses in operated performances; IFO-S is presented as an aerial-robotics swarm research platform, while Draco and OORI are listed as not for sale.
For a show, UVify's team designs the choreography, checks safety, maps flight paths and coordinates the fleet for launches, concerts, sports events and product presentations. The company says it achieved a 10,000-drone show in Texas in 2026 and has operated recurring Seoul events. Those milestones describe the company's service operation, not a universal payload or autonomy capability for every product.

- 2026-04-03 - Deployment - UVify flies 10,000-drone Guinness record show in Texas
UVify's company history records a successful 10,000-drone show in Texas in 2026. The company identifies the flight as a Guinness record, demonstrating operation of a swarm an order of magnitude larger than many conventional commercial displays. The milestone followed UVify's separate 2024 Guinness achievement for the world's largest cluster-drone performance and supports its positioning as both a platform developer and show operator.

Krit Ventures and Nexon holding company NXC invested KRW 60 billion in the drone swarm and autonomous-flight company. UVify linked the financing to global expansion after generating most of its revenue overseas and becoming the first Korean drone company to receive a $10 million Export Tower. The company said it would deepen entertainment swarm technology while expanding into autonomous flight, physical AI and next-generation defense drones.
