Daejeon City Supports Public Data and Company Matching

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City supports public data matching between public institutions and companies.

The city announced on the 11th that three projects were selected in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's '2022 Public Data Company Matching Support Contest.'

According to the selection results, the city will carry out related projects from July to the end of the year and receive full funding of 1.35 billion KRW.

The project focuses on collaboration between public institutions and companies that require public data construction and processing technology to improve the quality of public data and open it.

In this process, the city plans to create jobs by having companies directly employ young interns.

The projects will be carried out by three companies: Roda IT Co., Ltd., Miseong Information Technology Co., Ltd., and Geo2 Co., Ltd. The total number of young interns to be hired by these companies is 52.

To support data-related jobs for participating interns, the city plans to promote programs such as data competency training, mock interviews, issuance of career certificates, and provision of employment opportunities in cooperation with the executing companies participating in the project.

Additionally, the data constructed through the project will be opened as file data and Open API by the end of the year so that it can be used for information provision and business model creation for companies and small business owners.

Jung Jae-yong, Director of the Science and Industry Bureau of the city, said, “The public data company matching support project will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of local companies and revitalizing the data industry. The city will strive to successfully complete the project so that data that citizens can practically use will be supplied.”
