This launch ceremony was organized to commemorate Joongbu University’s final selection for the 'Regional Innovation-centered University Support System (RISE)' project, a public contest by Gyeonggi Province, and to share an educational innovation vision among Goyang City, the university, industry, and local organizations.

With this selection, Joongbu University will receive 2 billion won annually for five years, totaling 10 billion won, from Gyeonggi Province, and will also receive administrative and financial support from the city.

Based on this, Joongbu University plans to collaborate with Goyang City and the industrial sector to operate curricula aimed at fostering practical talent and enhancing digital capabilities.

Through this Joongbu University Rise Project, the city plans to work with the university to: ▲ nurture creative convergence talent based on advanced media content and AI, ▲ support start-ups linked to academic majors, ▲ carry out collaborative projects to address local issues, and ▲ develop lifelong education and education-linked models.

Lee Donghwan, mayor of Goyang Special City, stated, "The Joongbu University Rise Project is directly connected to Goyang City's future strategic industries and will become a model case of university-industry cooperation where the university and local community grow together." He added, "Goyang City will also closely cooperate with other universities to create an education and industry innovation ecosystem that benefits all generations, from students and youth to the middle-aged."
