"Establishing a Hub for Jeju-Style Innovation Ecosystem" ETRI Opens 'Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab'

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced on June 27 that it held an opening ceremony for the 'Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab' at Jeju Technopark, located in the Jeju Advanced Science and Technology Complex, in collaboration with Jeju Special Self-Governing Province.

The Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab will take charge of and promote key specialized areas in the Jeju region, including: artificial intelligence (AI)-based climate technology, sovereign artificial intelligence transformation (AX) tourism service technology development, and ultra-low-power AI semiconductors and talent cultivation.

In particular, the lab plans to discover new convergent business models by integrating Jeju's natural environment and tourism assets with AI, and to establish a foundation for digital transformation by applying practical AI-based technologies in the field.

The Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab will also serve as a central hub for the Jeju-style innovation ecosystem by working closely with local companies, universities, and research institutes.

Bang Seungchan, President of ETRI, stated, "The Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab is the first step toward establishing the ETRI Jeju Regional Research Headquarters," and added, "Through the opening of the Jeju AX Convergence Research Lab, we will help Jeju Province become a turning point for emerging as an AI innovation hub in East Asia."
