Gwangju City Opens 'One-Stop Support Center for Corporate Demonstration'

Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 9th that it has opened the 'One-Stop Support Center for Corporate Demonstration' to comprehensively support the demonstration of companies possessing innovative technologies.

The plaque ceremony was held with the attendance of Kim Gwang-jin, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Economy, as well as representatives from related organizations supporting corporate demonstration, including the AI Industry Convergence Project Group, Gwangju Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency, Gwangju Center for Creative Economy and Innovation, and Gwangju Technopark.

Until now, companies faced many difficulties as they had to individually secure demonstration sites and search for public institution demonstration support projects, including those by Gwangju City, to test the stability and performance of innovative technology products they developed.

To activate the demonstration of corporate innovative technologies, Gwangju City plans to unify the support window under the Future Industry General Office and provide tailored support through cooperation between the city and related organizations, offering demonstration sites mainly in the public sector and linking with existing demonstration support projects.

Kim Gwang-jin, Deputy Mayor for Culture and Economy of Gwangju City, stated, “To create the ‘Testbed Gwangju Model,’ where the entire city becomes a testing ground for innovative technologies driving future industry growth, we plan to continuously expand the budget related to demonstration support at the commercialization stage despite difficult financial conditions.” He added, “Through the One-Stop Support Center for Corporate Demonstration, we will spare no effort to support companies with innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to easily conduct demonstrations anytime and anywhere in Gwangju.”
