Gyeonggi Province Opens Digital Transformation Expo Bringing Together All Digital New Deal Projects

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province will hold the '2021 Digital Transformation Expo' with the Ministry of Science and ICT and Goyang City for four days from November 25-28 at Kintex in Goyang.

Held for the first time this year, the event serves as a comprehensive exhibition to review and promote the outcomes of the Digital New Deal strategy aimed at spreading digital innovation and vitality throughout the economy, while opening overseas markets for related companies.

The expo is organized around the theme of Digital New Deal 2.0 with six major exhibitions: ▲AI (artificial intelligence) ▲big data ▲cloud ▲IoT (Internet of Things)·5G ▲metaverse ▲GMV (Global Mobile Vision). With a large exhibition space of 32,319 square meters, around 200 companies with 800 booths, including major corporations, small and medium enterprises, startups, and key government and research institutions representing Korea, will participate.

The 'Global AI Summit' conference, held simultaneously with the exhibition, will feature top-tier experts in artificial intelligence from around the world and global leading companies, including Kim Jin-su, Director of Ciders Studio X, and Tony Saldanha, CEO of digital transformation consulting firm Transformant.

High-level lectures and discussions will be held on the disruptive innovation that artificial intelligence will bring about in digital new deal policies and the resulting paradigm shift, serving as a venue for presenting future visions and discussing the direction Korea should pursue.

Additionally, Korea's largest-scale global buyer export consultation meeting with more than 200 global buyers from around the world will be held under the auspices of KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), and investment consultation meetings with leading domestic venture capital firms will take place simultaneously.

This provides participating companies with an opportunity to engage in the optimal business market for overseas exports, market development, and investment attraction.

Park Jong-il, Director of Future Industries at the Province, said, "We hope this event will provide an opportunity to see how the government's new deal policies are reflected in our lives, and become a good venue for related companies to promote their advanced technologies and products."
