Brickmate Selected for NIPA Company Visit under Ministry of Science and ICT... Successful GDC Corporate Meeting

Kumho Electric's IT subsidiary Brickmate (CEO Jongsoo Oh, Minwook Kim) announced on the 20th that it was selected by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) under the Ministry of Science and ICT as a key company for visits among Korean IT companies entering Vietnam, and held a GDC (Global Development Center) global development company meeting.

The meeting was held at Brickmate's Ho Chi Minh City branch in Vietnam, with 11 key executives including NIPA Director Seongwook Heo and Brickmate CEO Minwook Kim participating.

NIPA is an industrial innovation specialized agency that plays a pivotal role in contributing to economic development by enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic ICT industry and fostering growth engines. It has been actively supporting domestic companies' entry into Vietnam and other major overseas markets. Last year, the agency formed the "Ho Chi Minh Korean ICT Companies Council" with the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Ho Chi Minh City, large ICT affiliates, and promising venture companies to establish a cooperative channel for information sharing and exchange activities among Korean ICT companies.

Through this meeting, NIPA and Brickmate reached a consensus on the importance of public-private collaboration to address the shortage of domestic IT development personnel. They discussed ways to encourage active participation of excellent Vietnamese developers and engineers in major ICT projects commissioned domestically, and cooperation methods that allow domestic companies to more easily access and utilize outstanding global human resources.

A Brickmate official stated, “Amid the ongoing global shortage of developers, Vietnamese GDC companies, which can supply abundant IT elites, can be a solution. Vietnamese developers, who are internationally recognized as having skills on par with Korea, are making significant advances in core technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). We will work more closely with NIPA in the future to become a company that greatly contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of the national software industry.”
