Gyeongbuk Province, KAIST & POSTECH Sign MOU for 'Future Strategy Establishment' ... "Promoting National Strategic Projects"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsangbuk-do signed a mutual business agreement with KAIST and POSTECH at the provincial government office on the 6th to promote a national strategic project through the establishment and execution of future strategies at the regional level.

On this day, with the attendance of Governor Lee Cheol-woo of Gyeongbuk Province and KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung, the Gyeongbuk Future Strategy Planning Group and KAIST MoonSul Graduate School of Future Strategy promised to promote sustainable exchange and cooperation projects.

KAIST MoonSul Graduate School of Future Strategy is a leading domestic institution for future strategy education and research, established in 2013 under the leadership of the current KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung. It publishes the 'KAIST Future Strategy' annually through its Future Strategy Research Center.

Earlier, in February, the Gyeongsangbuk-do Future Strategy Planning Group also signed a business agreement with POSTECH Park Tae-joon Future Strategy Research Institute (Director Kim Seung-hwan) and is jointly reviewing future strategy research and practical tasks led by the region.

The Gyeongbuk Future Strategy Planning Group focuses on three major future change drivers: population, technology, and climate change, reviewing various future scenarios to set a desired future vision and establish diverse long-term strategies to achieve it.

In particular, it is researching macro future projects and strategies such as discovering new industries driven by remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence, big data, bio, and nanotechnology; responding to population decline and aging; maximizing the ripple effects of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk integrated new airport construction; and building an artificial intelligence education city.

Kim Min-seok, head of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Future Strategy Planning Group, stated, "As the speed of social change accelerates with technological development and decentralization trends, the importance of future strategies at the regional level is increasing. Taking this business agreement with leading domestic future strategy research institutions as an opportunity, we will establish future strategies to lead the local community and attempt national strategization through pilot projects and follow-up research."
