NAVER D2SF has invested in F4GE, a South Korean startup building a manufacturing network for defense and advanced hardware buyers.

NAVER D2SF, the corporate venture capital arm of Naver, has invested in F4GE, a South Korean defense and manufacturing infrastructure startup, announced in a press release.

F4GE is building infrastructure that links Korea's fragmented core manufacturing factories into a unified manufacturing network. The company connects that network with demand from global defense and advanced hardware companies.

The startup standardizes data from Korean factories and converts it to meet requirements from global buyers. The system supports supply chain compliance for the U.S. Department of Defense.

The investment adds to NAVER D2SF's activity in defense and manufacturing technology startups and its work around Team Naver's industrial AX initiatives.
