Nasdaq-listed Roze AI has entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with BKB Energy to evaluate whether its AI-driven fire prediction technology could be deployed across seven planned data centre sites in South Korea.
The Canadian physical AI company, through its wholly owned Korean subsidiary, Roze AI Korea, executed the MOA with BKB Energy in late October.

The agreement lays out a preliminary cooperation structure for assessing the technical fit of Roze AI’s proprietary system at each of BKB Energy’s proposed facilities.
The seven developments, which BKB Energy has indicated will be built in stages, are spread across four provinces and range from 80MW to 800MW in planned capacity.
The largest proposed site is in Samcheok, Gangwon Province, at 800MW. A 240MW facility is planned at the Hannam University Defense AX Center in Daejeon, where an opening phase would deliver 40MW.
Gangwon Province also hosts planned developments in Yeongwol, a 260MW electromagnetic pulse (EMP)-protected facility, and Okgye at 200MW. The remaining three locations are Pocheon at 120MW, Pyeongtaek at 200MW and Hongseong at 80MW.
Roze AI CEO Young Jin Cho said: “We see BKB Energy’s planned development of AI data centers across seven locations in South Korea as a significant opportunity to demonstrate the value of our AI fire forecasting system. This MOA provides a framework for working with the relevant parties to determine the scope of technical implementation, design requirements, and commercial terms necessary for a definitive agreement.”
Both sides have set a provisional 60-day period from the date of signing to conduct technical assessments and explore commercial arrangements, though that window can be revised by written agreement.
The MOA expires on 20 October 2027 unless the parties agree to end or extend it sooner. Over that period, the companies expect to examine how equipment could be incorporated into facility designs, as well as how ongoing operations and upkeep would be managed.
Based in Seongnam, South Korea, Roze AI Korea builds fire safety solutions for buildings and urban infrastructure. Its core offering, the Disaster AI Platform, draws on sensor inputs and digital twin simulations to calculate a Fire Risk Index used for ongoing hazard assessment and early detection.
Roze AI cautioned that the MOA carries no binding purchasing, revenue or investment obligations.
Before any work begins, the two parties would need to agree on definitive contracts covering pricing, delivery scope and the full range of deliverables, from hardware such as sensors through to software and alert systems, contingent on project viability reviews and all necessary approvals.
The BKB Energy accord came four days after Roze AI Korea entered a comparable preliminary agreement, signed on 16 October 2026, with Mullae District 3 Complex Development. That MOA concerns the potential use of AI fire safety technology at a proposed project in Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo district.
