This agreement was prepared to build a sustainable local innovation ecosystem based on cooperation among local government, industry, and academia by linking the city's initiative to create a future-oriented self-sufficient city with Sahmyook University's AI-centered education and research capabilities in advanced industries.

In particular, as the city has laid the foundation for a major transformation of the industrial ecosystem through a series of large-scale investment attraction achievements, it plans to use this agreement as an opportunity to organically link the nurturing of future talent with the fostering of advanced industries. Through this, it aims to accelerate its leap forward into a city centered on AI and advanced industries, where companies invest and talent settles.

Mayor Ju Kwangdeok of Namyangju said, "This agreement is an important starting point for the city and Sahmyook University to jointly build a future growth foundation where talent, technology, and industry are organically connected," adding, "We will continue to focus the city's administrative capacity so that Namyangju City can leap forward as an advanced industrial innovation hub where talent, technology, and companies grow together, through close cooperation between the two institutions."

Using this agreement as a starting point, the city plans to expand the cooperation base involving universities and anchor companies both inside and outside the city, and to begin in earnest the establishment of an advanced industrial ecosystem in which talent development, corporate investment, and industrial growth form a virtuous cycle centered on the Wangsuk Urban High-Tech Industrial Complex.
