The event held on the 16th was organized to share the achievements of the Gyeongnam National University and Changwon National University LINC 3.0 Project Group’s collaboration project with the ‘Changwon City CES2024 Participating Companies Support Project’ and to award certificates of completion to the university students who participated in the project.

This project, conducted as a local-government, industry, and academia cooperation sharing and collaboration project, matched 10 students with exhibiting companies linked to the ‘Changwon City CES2024 Participating Companies Support Project.’ After completing pre-education such as booth operation since November last year, the matched students supported activities including product PR at local company booths and B2B, B2C global customer service at the CES2024 exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA, last January.

About 40 people attended the event, including representatives of five local startups, among them the Changwon City CES2024 Innovation Award-winning companies, and university student supporters.

Mayor Hong said, “At CES 2024, 10 startups successfully entered the international stage. Three companies received innovation awards from the US CTA in recognition of their innovative technology.” He added, “I would like to once again express my gratitude to those who widely promoted Changwon’s innovative technology.”

He continued, “I hope the Gyeongnam National University and Changwon National University LINC 3.0 Project Groups will play a significant role in supplying talent that the region and companies need. In particular, I hope they will continue to improve and develop advanced talent cultivation in AI and hyperconnectivity fields.”
