[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Digital Transformation Committee has officially launched.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 13th that the 'Gyeonggi-do Digital Transformation Committee,' established to respond to the 4th Industrial Revolution and promote digital governance, held its first meeting at the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency on the 11th and officially launched.

The committee is composed of six subcommittees: ▲ Digital Transformation (General) ▲ Smart Manufacturing ▲ Smart Mobility ▲ Metaverse ▲ Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Data ▲ Digital Bio & Health.

The committee plans to establish a mid- to long-term innovation strategy that reduces social and economic necessary costs and proposes solutions to social problems using digital technology, thereby securing a strong digital technology foundation and further improving the quality of life for residents.

Ideas for discovering digital transformation strategic tasks will be collected from residents to implement policies that residents can feel directly. Applications can be submitted until the 25th of this month through Gyeonggi-do's Voice (vog.gg.go.kr), Gyeonggi-do Integrated Contest (gg.go.kr/gongmo), People's Petition (epeople.go.kr), and Gwanghwamoon 1st Street (gwanghwamoon1st.go.kr).

Lee Han-gyu, Deputy Governor for Administration 2 of Gyeonggi-do, said, "I hope this meeting will be the first step leading Korea's great transformation and an opportunity to discover policies that can overcome the current era's crisis," adding, "Through Gyeonggi-do's digital transformation projects, we will continuously support raising residents' quality of life and creating jobs through stable profit structures for companies."
