[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] "Through continuous industry-academia collaboration, we will realize 'open innovation' and continuously evolve the Galaxy ecosystem by enhancing future value with diverse products and services."

Notae Moon, President of Samsung Electronics MX Division, stated at the '1st MX Vision Day' event on the 10th, "In a situation where market and consumer demands for new technologies are expanding, securing core technologies and nurturing outstanding talent through 'openness' are the core values of the MX Division."

The event was organized by Samsung Electronics to invite professors and researchers from major domestic universities to Samsung Electronics Suwon Digital City to share the latest research and development results related to mobile technology. About 100 professors and researchers from 22 research institutes of five universities including Seoul National University, Yonsei University, KAIST, POSTECH, and Hanyang University attended the event.

Samsung Electronics and the 22 university research institutes have been conducting industry-academia research for about a year since June last year. The goal is to develop various next-generation mobile core technologies including ▲key hardware such as cameras, displays, and audio ▲software technologies such as multimedia and graphics ▲security, cloud, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. At the event, research results from the industry-academia collaboration projects conducted through these research institutes were shared.

The Samsung Electronics MX Division also shared its business strategy to innovate mobile experiences through the latest mobile technologies, market trends, and customer-centric management with the attendees. Samsung Electronics expects that strengthening industry-academia collaboration with major universities will contribute not only to nurturing convergent talents encompassing hardware and software but also to strengthening South Korea’s future technology ecosystem.

Samsung Electronics plans to hold MX Vision Day annually starting with this event. It aims to activate academic research needed in the industry and strengthen industry-academia collaboration to secure and nurture outstanding research personnel. The company will strive to build and develop talent infrastructure so that excellent talents who can lead mobile technology can enter companies and demonstrate their capabilities.
