Public and Industry Cooperation Channel 'Gongganjeongbo Forum' to be Held on the 19th

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] The 'Spatial Information Forum,' a cooperation channel between the public and industrial sectors in the field of spatial information, will be held on the 19th.

This forum will be conducted under the theme "Digital Twin Land, Nurturing New Industries." It is hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and organized by the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX).

Digital twin refers to a digital virtual space identical to reality. It combines a high-precision 3D digital map with various urban and administrative data. It serves as infrastructure for new industries such as autonomous vehicles and drones, and through simulations, it can also propose solutions to various land and urban issues.

The on-site event held at Dragon City Hotel in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, will be attended by Yoon Sung-won, 1st Vice Minister of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; Kim Jeong-ryeol, President of Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX); Park Kyung-yeol, Chairman of the Spatial Information Industry Cooperative; and Kim Seok-jong, President of the Spatial Information Industry Association, among others.

On the day, the exchange and harmony opening ceremony will begin at 1:30 PM, followed by policy presentations, technical presentations, technology demonstrations, and expert discussions on the theme of sharing new technologies starting at 2:50 PM.

Technologies such as high-precision portable 3D scanners, artificial intelligence (AI)-based data editing, web-based platforms, and Jeonju City's digital twin administrative model (LX) will be demonstrated.

Vice Minister Yoon plans to announce the policy direction stating, "We will rapidly build digital twin data in the land sector by 2022 and improve related regulations and distribution methods so that the industry can conveniently utilize high-precision spatial information."

Additionally, government awards will be presented at the forum, including the awarding of the Seoktap Industrial Medal to Choi Su-pung, Director of the Korea Survey Institute, for his contributions to the development of spatial information.

Kim Jeong-ryeol, President of LX, said, "We will actively support digital twin policies to establish a well-structured administrative service model based on digital twin and expand it nationwide."

This event will be conducted both online and offline to practice social distancing due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and real-time participation will be available through YouTube.
