On October 1 at 10:00 a.m., the city will host the 'Chuncheon AI Great Transformation Vision Proclamation Ceremony and Forum' at the Chuncheon ICT Venture Center Conference Hall.

The first part, the 'Vision Proclamation Ceremony,' will unveil Chuncheon's future vision to become the nation's leading AI-driven city. The core strategies are built on three pillars: a robust industry empowered by AI, hopeful education, and warm-hearted administration.

Notably, the event will mark the official launch of the 'Chuncheon AI Innovation Governance,' which will lead the city's AI policy. This governance body, composed of 12 top experts from the fields of industry, education, and administration, will serve as the focal point and control tower for public-private cooperation, designing and implementing practical AI policies that will transform citizens' lives.

The second part will feature a forum under the theme 'AI + Chuncheon, Setting the Standard for Future Cities,' bringing together Korea's top experts. Choi Yanghee, President of Hallym University and former Minister of Science, ICT and Future Planning, will deliver the keynote speech, while Han Sangki, CEO of TechFrontier, will present 'AI City: Chuncheon's Challenge.' The expert panel discussion will follow, moderated by Seo Byungjo, President of the Gangwon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency, and joined by Ji Yonggu, Head of Growth Industry at Douzone Bizon (industry), Kim Hongrae, Professor at Chuncheon National University of Education (education), and Lee Soyoung, Vice President of the Korea Research Institute for Local Administration (administration).

This vision proclamation ceremony carries even greater significance as it aligns with the government's recently announced vision to become one of the world's top three AI powerhouses. As global competition in AI technology intensifies, Chuncheon's proactive and strategic move is seen as an effort to secure future growth engines and drive the region's sustainable development. Since introducing AI across administration, industry, and education is a key factor in determining urban competitiveness, much attention is being paid to the city's pioneering role.

Mayor Yuk Donghan stated, "AI is already the key driver transforming the future of cities," adding, "This vision proclamation ceremony will be the starting point for Chuncheon to become the nation's leading AI-driven city through AI policies that citizens can truly experience." He further emphasized, "We will envision a prosperous future created together by the Chuncheon AI Innovation Governance and our citizens."
