[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 6th that it held the '2020 National Spatial Information Joint Utilization Agreement Ceremony' to jointly utilize spatial information data, the source of the digital economy, with various institutions.

The ceremony was attended by Park Seon-ho, 1st Vice Minister of MOLIT, and representatives from seven institutions including the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Saemangeum Development Authority, National Health Insurance Service, Korea Mine Reclamation Corporation, Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, Korea Resources Corporation, and Korea District Heating Corporation.

Now in its fifth year, the National Spatial Information Joint Utilization Agreement Ceremony aims to share spatial data held by each institution. Spatial information connects data to data, enhancing the transmission of information and enabling rational decision-making.

By jointly utilizing spatial information, it is expected to prevent redundant data construction and contribute to the revitalization of related industries. In particular, it is anticipated to be widely used in the fields of health and medical care, industry, land management, and regional development.

Vice Minister Park said, "The sharing and utilization of spatial information will contribute to building a business ecosystem and creating jobs," and urged, "Please work together to ensure that the quality of information produced by each institution is well managed."
