The Sudogwon(Capital Region) Research Division is an ICT R&D hub that leads a collaborative network of local governments, industry, academia, research institutes, and public agencies across the Seoul Capital Area. It spearheads digital transformation(DX) and AI transformation(AX) in semiconductors and industrial intelligence, the region’s strategic industries.
We concentrate our capabilities on four core technology areas that will drive future industries: Regional Industry AX, AISoC Infrastructure, Artificial Intelligence DX, and Industrial Content Intelligence. By disseminating the results of ETRI’s fundamental and foundational AI research and supporting technology commercialization, we help regional industries secure sustainable technological competitiveness amid a rapidly shifting global technology paradigm.
To deliver results tailored to the field, we are building an industry-driven foundation, including training system semiconductor specialists and establishing design infrastructure. We also demonstrate and disseminate convergence technologies linked to the Capital Area’s specialized industries and social issues, while strengthening support for technology commercialization by regional companies.
Building on advanced technology and convergence infrastructure, the Sudogwon(Capital Region) Research Division will continue to foster the region’s strategic industries and serve as a reliable partner in Korea’s future growth.
