JMWAVE's main business focuses on Repower, which uses technology to convert internal combustion engine cars to EVs. Starting with partnerships in North America, it plans to expand into the global logistics mobility market.

Ideas that shape the future ultimately come from people. JMWAVE believes in the value of each individual and in shaping the future with people, rather than boasting about technological advancements. It isn't just looking for talent — it is looking for dreamers who will envision their dreams with JMWAVE.

JMWAVE is not just a vehicle manufacturing company. It is also not a company that claims to lead ESG trends or that its products will instantly make the Earth greener. While others emphasize flashy vehicle features and changes that may come in the future, it changed its way of thinking and focused on practicality.

While everyone has been focused on manufacturing EVs, JMWAVE found a solution in the existing automobile market. It provides solutions that take EV conversion, a field that hasn't been the focus of much attention, to another level. Repower allows it to electrify internal combustion engine cars, offering a new perspective for the future of society.&nbsp;

Repower converts internal combustion engine trucks into EV trucks. It is the first in Korea to acquire safety certification for converted EVs and is providing reliable products to its customers.

JMWAVE is also the first to develop swappable batteries for EVs, enhancing the usability of EV trucks. Its battery-swapping system helps minimize vehicle downtime and the time spent charging batteries, improving efficiency for the logistics and transportation industries and meeting their needs.

JMWAVE also meets additional consumer needs by offering affordable price points while completing vehicle conversions in a short time. It takes only three days to convert internal combustion engine cars into EVs, minimizing the period vehicles can't be used. This is especially helpful for logistics and delivery companies seeking to cut costs and increase efficiency.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It also offers customized solutions based on customer demands and is continuously enhancing its technology through ongoing research. It plans to sign partnerships with logistics companies and local governments, and aims to install more battery-swapping stations in easily accessible areas.

As technology advances, people ironically feel more disconnected from each other. To address this issue, xCREW creates a community that brings people together and enhances their lives. The company aims to use the internet to help people get offline and connect with each other, leveraging technology to remove barriers to human connections. 

xCREW is a hyperlocal outdoor sports platform dedicated to helping individuals overcome various barriers and challenges that prevent them from enjoying a wide range of sports. The company collaborates with local communities, sports enthusiasts and experts to offer sports events and gatherings that provide opportunities for beginners and newcomers to engage in sports and enhance their daily lives. By working with municipalities and companies, xCREW hosts innovative sports events, positioning itself as a B2B and B2C brand that drives dynamic sports experiences.&nbsp;

xCREW operates as a global hyperlocal sports community platform.

In the United States, there are 12.9 million immigrants involved in amateur sports communities. Many face challenges due to a lack of connections to the right communities or because information on joining such groups is scattered across the internet. Even if they join sports communities, some struggle to find people of similar abilities or find it hard to fit in.

To address these issues, xCREW employs an AI recommendation system that suggests sports communities to users based on their desired activities, gender, race, age, location and skill level.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Users can verify the credibility of individuals they will be meeting for workouts, ensuring the safety of offline meetups. The startup also offer fun challenges to participants, encouraging users to compete and grow in the process.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
